Considering they are "warts and all", that might be why I haven't gotten any programming job offers. :) Having projects is great for the team interview but not as good for evaluating the job notes or getting past HR. And sort of difficult to get feedback so that I can grow. Contributing to mature or larger projects seems difficult as it presupposes more skill and a deeper understanding of that particular project. For example, I really enjoy PHP but my day job doesn't use it. So I find myself pulled towards Bash on a daily basis and secretly trying to figure out how to convert it to something better.
