I like seeing personal projects that solve interesting problems, and that show that the person really considered the use cases and application of their project (UX design, functionality, etc.). There are good engineers, and then there are engineers that focus on why/who they are doing the engineer and I think that's really important, especially in a startup setting where people need to be intelligent self starters and hold themselves to high standards without having someone breathing down their neck.
