I keep telling people if you really want to validate your skills and prove to employers you can handle a real-world codebase to:
Complete a medium size feature ticket on the DEV.to codebase
Get that pull request merged and deployed.
Anyone who can accomplish that deserves a job 💯.
I'll give you an example. on the left we have DEV.to, on the right is what I'd expect a Rails codebase to look like. Maybe you'd have one additional custom directory in your app's directory, not 10+ 😱. This is one of the many obstacles you'll face on this codebase.
The DEV.to codebase is the greatest gift to developers to sharpen their skills. I wish they would contribute.
Working on the DEV.to codebase has brought back some older processes which I had put to the wayside. One thing I adopted that DEV.to does is CodeClimate and Dependabot.

The DEV.to codebase is my worst nightmare.
