Have you ever gotten a job from just showing off your open source work, though?

I was a committer to Elasticsearch. My name is thanked in the (very old) official book. I will still get asked questions.

No one looks at open source work, just as no one cares about your resume.

Other people I know have. Quite a few have leveraged their contributions to the D language into a much higher paying job than they had before.
