There's another issue - most of my code is stuff I've done for clients to make money (I can't show that on github), or stuff that I've done for myself to make money (I don't want to show that either).
That's happened in my field. I've helped a couple of C-suiters to recreate/edit their resumes. No one will advertise my services because they have to keep up the BS facade they've done everything by themselves. I wish the industry would call BS on excellent resumes, public speaking prep, EQ workshops, etc. We can't be good at all things but the smart exec knows how to find people with the right services and answers. Burns me up a bit.
