As someone who has interviewed software engineers and security engineers I will tell you there is a common theme: they don't have GitHub profiles. I'm not kidding, about 10% of applicants had a website, blog, or GitHub profile to share. If you even had a BLANK GitHub profile it made you stand out. Have ANYTHING on your GitHub profile.
I empower people to become software developers, especially those with kids/family responsibilities, full-time jobs, or who feel too old to start over. 🥰👩🏽💻

WOW! Thanks so much for sharing! That's crazy, and underlines again my motivation for this piece.
