Side projects show only one attribute that is a reason why id hire someone, which is their technical ability. Delivering on time with reasonable quality, working within given constraints, with people from other disciplines are other aspects that are as important as technical capabilities but blogging and side projects cannot convey, therefore side projects wont make you standout imo unless you built a business around it. Id much rather work with people who have another life outside tech than not.
