Personal projects are a bit questionable as a skill test.

I've been planning to do a personal site for a long time and wishing i could contribute on github more but most of the time the only contribution on github ends up to be bug fixes to libraries I use at work and I still haven't gotten anywhere with my personal website.

Most of my best code will never be seen by any interviewer since it's done at work.

Now if any of my personal code was making me money that would be different but I have nothing like that at the moment.

Agreed. And on top of that, any personal projects I do actually find time to work on are typically pretty rushed (due to the lack of time) and are not going to be the best examples of my work product.

Typically I am just trying to write something quick and dirty to accomplish some task and want to share it in case somebody else might benefit. I'd love to make time to go back and polish things, but rarely do I have the time.
