Not exactly what you asked for, but maybe helpful: https://www.level12.io/blog/advice-to-aspiring-developers/ https://www.level12.io/blog/advice-to-aspiring-developers/ I think the frustrating reality is that it's usually not possible to tell the good from the bad at the portfolio/resume level, some kind of skills/competency test must be given. I personally don't look at GitHub repos because I don't know how long it took to write that code. If it's great code, but took 4x to write than it should have, I wouldn't know. There are also a lot of applicants that just don't have much public in GH. Finally, to be clear, I'm not saying they are all bad actors. I'm sure some are and the same for employers. Mostly a result of the current world economics.
