Most of the code I ever wrote in my spare time never made it to a public repo. Usually because I either didn't finish it (I enjoy experimenting and prototyping the most), it was incredibly specific and hardcoded to my personal environment, or I just couldn't be bothered to go make sure I removed all the hardcoded secrets, implement environment variables instead, etc. I'm slowly trying to do better (and I did at least start a company that publishes pretty much everything it does). It's surprising (and awesome!) to me how much open source repos have become a part of many people's CV/resumé.
