None of the large tech companies care if you have shipped an app or have open source work. Even as a regular old journeyman “enterprise developer” from 1996-2020, I’ve never been asked about open source work.

The only reason I have any open source work on GitHub now - I stopped programming as a hobby the minute I graduated from college in 1996 - is because my company has a very straightforward open source process where I can open source reusable project work I do for customers (consulting).
