I was a bit nonplussed reading this as well. If I'm interviewing a future colleague I am especially curious about their side projects on GitHub ... but I don't care how well what they have done dovetails with my current technical needs, or many "iterations" they have shipped, but rather: are they passionate/do they make things they care about? Can they write clearly? Is the code of high quality? Have they interacted with others well (respectful/helpful tone in PRs, Issues, etc.)? I find most candidates don't bother with half, or any, of these, but the ones that do tend to be good ones (and, alas, are also employed already).
