I have about 6-7 repos in GitHub...all private. I will never give that out in a link. I don't mind you looking at it in front of me, but I'm not giving anyone access to it. And since all that code is sitting on my laptop, it's easier to let me plug my laptop to your widescreen and let's talk code.

For my first developer position, I actually went into the interview with my own laptop and showed the two developers some of my projects written in DarkBasic. They could see the code if they wanted to but I haven't released that code anywhere. The demos were very visual which was a great hook in an interview, I highly recommend that people take their closed source projects to interviews just to demonstrate what they are capable of.
