I'm not sure I was misled, what you said was explicitly taught to us at University. I think my degree is the #1 thing on my resume, but of course I also had projects, a few certificates, and multiple attempts at more specific fields.

Back when I was applying, my GitHub activity was pretty solid green.

    It's weird because everywhere I've ever worked routinely hires people who don't even know how to make a commit, or anything at all really.

    For some reason even those people are somehow jumping ahead of competent people like you in the queue. It's also annoying for us because we have to deal with the bad ones that HR delivers.

    Oh god someone that actually knows how to create an issue, do a PR, submit PR, them merge all in that order is a smaller amount of people then we care to admit. I've had to teach many many people over the years with coding experience how to use git... Or github like interface. Change management is hard when devs don't know how to work in s team setting.
