you're fine. Sure lots of stuff changes in four years, but plenty more doesn't change. Start applying to stuff that looks good right now, and in the meantime work on porfolio/personal projects using the kinds of tools you want to use and get better yet. If someplace is too leetcodey in their interview process, you probably don't want to work there anyways. Tell them up front in the first "get to know you" interview that you don't like whiteboard coding but are happy to talk about code and explain the details of things you've done. If that's a dealbreaker for them, that's good, it's a good filter for a place that would probably be unhealthy anyways. Ultimately nobody cares what tools or tech stack or methodology or anything like that. If you can build stuff that works, you'll find work. |

It's a great way to show off recent experience. After all, they don't care if you got paid for it, they just care that you have it.
Open source work could be particularly visible - and some companies look for devs with ties to the OSS community.
