Finished ones.
This sounds trite, but honestly, finishing things is hard. If you can show off a couple of finished side projects, that reflects much better than a half-dozen abandoned halfway through.
- krabpaaltje 10y agoI agree, finishing a project is pretty huge. Also have a portfolio website to show how and why you made certain choices. I have one (very bare bones) for my mobile apps but it helps the employee to see what you're capable of.
- grovegames 10y agoThere is no such thing as a finished project. Just one you no longer work on.
- T-hawk 10y agoI think the parent really meant publishable where he said finished. Some kind of minimum viable product. That's what shows you can cut through the BS and wishlist and fun-to-code stuff in favor of the details and grind of getting something out the door and functioning to serve an audience.
- FLGMwt 10y ago`publish` vs `finish` I think is a good clarification of what I think the commenter meant. Going further though, I do think I prefer `published` to `publishable`. Fighting through the last (sometimes most difficult steps) to get something in the public means a lot to me. Additionally, it's also easier to demo something that's available on the public web.
