I mean I never considered having GitHub projects as anything. If you have project(s) that seem useful and have let's say a hundred stars or more (rough signal assuming no foul play), I'll have a look. If you say you have meaningful contributions to projects with a thousand stars or more, I may have a look as well.

Now my bars are so massively higher, 99.95% of juniors who don't have pre-2024 work to show can forget about it.
