I would agree - unless you are in a super-specialized industry, have a very specific skill set, or in a pure software industry, you probably don't need to have side projects to demo or support open-source to get another job - this is from someone who hires IT professionals including the occasional programmer.

And lets be honest - they mostly worry about you doing side projects on "their" time 😊
