Cute, but no. I will absolutely do none of things.

You need to make it as easy as possible for me to learn about you. If instructions are necessary it’s not easy. If you want me to feed links to an LLM then just do it for me and share the LLM output.

I care about only two things - a LinkedIn exported resume and a portfolio page. That’s it.

I don’t think I ever once ever seen an interesting or impressive GitHub repo. I’m not spending half an hour clicking through a dozen repos and god knows how many files.

Ok, typical honest-and-probably-correct-but-snarky HN take. Fine I can deal with this.

Dude. I don't think OP is the problem anymore...

I wasn’t snarky! Just very direct.

The most active GitHub profiles are students. Their repos are almost entirely class work which has an interesting factor of zero.

Almost all professionals don’t have meaningful or interesting GitHubs. Most people do work for their employer and have hobby projects that go no where. This is fine! These people get hired!

I do like portfolio pages where someone has finished something. I honestly don’t even care if it’s good. If you have a game on Steam that has only 3 review but it’s finished that’s spectacular. A near instant hire honestly. Just don’t expect me to actually download and run anything. Screenshots and videos please. YouTube is fine.

Ok I dig that totally makes more sense. I thought you were saying you've never seen ANY GH repo that's interesting. You just meant a personal GH repo. Thank you for clarifying and sorry for my own snark!

All good! <3
