Not really. I put together a few github projects and was approached about two jobs over a few years just under 200k... I said no, because even though my github projects were simple when I wrote them, reading them later was insane. Reopening my java projects after years is the exact opposite - my IDE tells me everything I need to know and reminds me along the way. It's like a warm fuzzy blanket. I'm almost 99% sure both jobs were places that bought into some dynamic developer who promised unicorns and rainbows and then left them with a huge clojure project have their eyes bleed to. No thanks.
