Not all that counts can be counted.

I hate Agile and I'm not going to try and sugar coat that. "We're drowning under the weight of clueless product leads, managers, and owners who've never written a line of code" That's why this still exists though not performant, because it some peoples entire entire careers now.
I appreciate it. After thinking about this I think I just need to get over my hangups about duplicating things already done or things that aren't really important.
I just take tabs and rearrange them for personal use. Learn from my mistake and just post whatever to your github, if you fret over its usefulness or purpose you might just never grow your portfolio at all. This was a mistake. You don't have to have some gnu front-page exploratory project.
If you want to shred guitar look up Troy Grady to grok efficient mechanics that won't break your wrist (we type alot for work as well)
The elitism is rampant. As an embedded sector guy everyone thinks every other RTOS isn't a real RTOS and the knowledge and wisdom don't translate.
Every time I find some open source I would contribute to, what I wanted to implement is already there or is already in the works. I'm not going to change shit just to change it. I'll buy them a coffee tip and leave.
I'm a senior developer and my github is half guitar tabs. I'm not interested in peacocking. Maybe it's because Hackaday refused to put my name on the article with my senior design project years ago and I just don't want to play the game.
I have no issue with doing this on a job, but i have issue with it in interviews. Not everyone is able to be comfortable in a strange environment with strange people. Give me a damn take-home test and stop talking amongst yourselves while i'm at the whiteboard.
I couldn't care less for the incentives of a corporation. Why are they allowed to slight the environment for their benefit but I cannot for my own? Am I not represented in this country (nobody is, your votes can't compete with consolidated bribery)
MS literally hung up on me in 2020 during the interview in teams, no less than 3 minutes into the interview itself (interviewer was more than a dozen minutes late, and is a prominent MS guy who gives lecture style talks)
I have to schedule multiple interviews in the day so I can at least feel normal by the last one. I'm at my current job because I scheduled three interviews in a day, including a hour drive to a physical location for the second one.
I was so done with it I wore something between a Hawaiian shirt and a dress shirt to the last interview. This kind of approach is the only thing that works for me.
