I help decide on hiring decisions (company in California) and I absolutely look for a Github account with genuine content in it. Of course, many good candidates who get hired don't have one, but if you do, and if it shows that you have some ability to write/discuss/maintain software independently, then that's a big plus.

What do you think of a github account that's full of unfinished projects and commits that are rushed and not necessarily made for general consumption?

[Myrmornis]

If it indicates that the person enjoys writing software enough that they’re spending spare time doing that, then that’s positive.

Agreed. From time to time I've interviewed candidates for junior position and it's the first thing I look for.
