re 1 par -> No. My advice is: 1. focus on 3 places - your web site, GitHub and LinkedIn. I wouldn't bother about others. 2. Your web site - add button for Resume/About me on front page; add clear readable resume-like description of your skills; make it technical enough, so that visitors understand what you can do. Not sure how to explain this, but when I was hiring for IT/finance jobs, after 30-50 resumes I could easily separate good folks based on the way how they described their achivements. 3. GitHub - if I would be a recruiter, I would expect to see more stuff [prior projects], unless those were proprietary. 4. LinkedIn - too many buzzwords and marketing speak for my liking, but may be OK for suits, don't know. >> Is there some way I could prove I could build an application that can handle 10,000 uniques without actually building one? Sure there is. Without building - no. Should not be difficult - get 3-5 VMs on AWS, set-up three tier (1 nginx -> 2-3 uwsgi/gunicorns -> 1 postgres) - yes, either blitz.io or [this is a tricky one] - post challenge on HN. I recall someone did this with WP. Just one example. Can be somth else. The key is - your achivements shall be aligned with your strengths/skills shall be aligned with your representation [website, LI, GH] shall be aligned with which gigs you target/want. The above will not guarantee a gig [it is Step 1], but imrove your success probability. My view.....
