Read or watch the talk he gave that he links to. He talks about how his big "break" came about from writing a yaml parser for Php that had "70" downloads. Hardly "famous." I think his point is that releasing code allows you to show that you take initiative, and can show at least some insight into how you solve problems. Edit: I just reread. He sort of contradicts what he said in the keynote he links to.
