The first filter (HR/recruiting) may not look at your projects. By the time they get to me (an engineer), I'm going to spend 15 mins digging through this candidate before the first interview. I will check whether your projects do CDN or whether you write functions with more than 4 arguments. There was a guy who put a project in a certain framework on his resume to prove he knew how to work with that framework. That project had one commit and it was titled something like "fris commit". That made me go "hmmmmm". I don't judge too harshly because I know not everyone puts their code open source. But I do pay a lot of attention to what someone puts out there. I have interviewers who say "Hey I loved your Medium posts" or "Hey I saw your screenshots on AI on Facebook", so I doubt I'm the only one.

  They don't need to, but sometimes some people do (especially juniors). That's the idea, appreciate the trivial things that people do on their projects.
