I'm not convinced that the Github profile is for recruiters alone. As someone doing hiring at the company, I want to see it myself.

So what am I looking for? Clean code that's more than just boilerplate. Comments, good logic, some sense of purpose. There can be garbage repos in there, too, but I expect there to be some that show off who you are.

In short, they want to see who you are. If your Github isn't showing who you are, you're not helping yourself by providing it to the recruiter.

I do this too, just to find stuff to dive into in the first 10 mins. The worst was when somebody’s github was full of tutorial projects that were done in 2-4 hours a piece by following detailed instructions.
