Dont show some vibe coded hobby scripts. Show that you know how to build software AND how software engineering works. So build a small application that that shows you understood some basic architecture principles like oo, seperation of concerns etc.
Then add a CI CD pipeline and Docker Images to show that you also have thought about deployments on production systems.

Set up a small open-source GitHub repo to showcase your skills, and ask people in your network to give it some stars for added credibility. If you’re not sure what to build, you could create a simple RAG bot using Claude and feed it your resume — that way, employers can literally chat with your “digital twin” and learn about your experience through an AI agent you built yourself. At least thats what I did lLet me know if you need the source code :)

scraping via a browser plugin is not an option? would make you independent from any 3rd party api and the browser already has the users credentials
how would it learn? train/fine tune a custom llm?

So in theory I could hook it up to my LinkedIn account and it would go through people commenting on my posts, run sentiment analysis using a LLM, and identify key supporters or detractors?
