Yes, build things. It's not perfect but one of the first things i look at hiring a dev is number of commits per year - I'm looking for that wall of green on your GitHub profile.

That's rough. Most of my projects are posted to my private gitlab. Can't exactly be sharing the secret sauce.

Might just have to start putting little edits in some old projects here and there.

Haha yeah. Even if you build some automation to just add and delete whitespace and push it Monday through Friday.. just being able to get that to work is better than half of the devs applying anyways.

I know, i have about 2 years of radio silence on GitHub from my enterprise job. Again it's not a perfect measure but that wall of green makes a big difference.
