As a consultant (and this situation is very similar for the growing army of contractors out there), it's very difficult to be able to even say specifically what you have made for clients due to NDAs and other legal obligations. I do like this concept, though, for the less-restricted employees out there. I am curious how you would see this working for something like finance or accounting, though. There are many jobs where you don't produce visible projects that you can point to, but your work has nonetheless been of high value to your employers.

This is a good question and before I continue IANAL, and anything in my response could be inaccurate. This is one example: http://www.theymadethat.com/people/ryan-porter http://www.theymadethat.com/people/ryan-porter In particular click on the 'AMA Capital Automated Trading System' project and projects related to 'Palantir Metropolis'. Both products are sensitive in nature and unlike say a Netflix platform, you can't provide as much detail since you can't provide trade secrets or classified information. However as hopefully shown in the link it's still possible to provide a really high level overview that gives a gist of the work you accomplished. Here's another incomplete example: http://www.theymadethat.com/people/margaret-hamilton http://www.theymadethat.com/people/margaret-hamilton Look at the 'NORAD Semi-Automatic Ground Environment' project. Another way to get around this is to simple list your involvement in building something but not provide any details of your work. Still, there may be situations where you can never list your work (and we do comply with DCMA requests). Unfortunately, TheyMadeThat just isn't a magic bullet for every project and person's work situation.
