> formal education and previous work experience are often overrated, and side-projects are underrated
I partially agree, in my opinion work experience > side projects > education experience. When I'm looking at resumes I pay the most attention to work experience, and that's what I'll dig into in an interview, but for fresh grads and anyone with very little experience I will absolutely go through their github and see what kind of code they write and what projects interest them.
