(There is another similar question below)
I never anticipated doing this as a career, so the projects are just scattered over the hard drives of old laptops. Also, some of them are a bit too idiosyncratic (for e.g, in recent years I mostly treat PHP as a functional scripting language — with no good justification other than finding it fun — rather than doing OO stuff) for mainstream applicability.
- frfl 4y agoIt would be in your interest if youre serious to find the projects and consolidate them into a single github account. That's great about the PHP FP, great blog material and or interview talking points. Mentioning FP, and other core CS skills on a resume, would help as well. Speaking of, as a new "commercial" programmer core cs skill, ability to solve problems protactively and desire to learn regularly and with a keen interest will go a long way after landing the job
- tedmiston 4y agoIt's worthwhile to write up descriptions of the projects like goals, technical challenges, etc even if you don't intend to open source the code. Help someone understand your technical problem solving approach.
