You share your private repository with a recruiter. Then what? Do they actually look at it? For how long? Which files caught their attention? As a developer, you're probably used to the silence. GitHub doesn't tell you when someone views your code, and private repositories are

Code reviews are where junior developers learn and senior developers catch bugs before they reach production. But most teams struggle with one thing: how to write review comments that people actually read, understand, and implement without getting defensive. The problem isn't code review itself. It's that

You use GitHub every day. You know how to push commits, open pull requests, and merge branches. But are you using the features that actually make collaboration smoother and code safer? Most developers stick to the basics. They've never explored the power tools buried in the Settings menu

You have built a full-stack project. The frontend lives in one repo, the backend in another, maybe there is an infrastructure or shared library repo too. Now a recruiter asks to see your work. Do you send three separate links? Copy and paste a list of URLs into an email

You keep hearing that contributing to open source is one of the best things you can do for your developer career. It builds your skills, grows your network, and gives you real code to show off. But every time you open a popular repo, you feel completely lost. The codebase

You spent weeks polishing your side project, wrote tests, added a clean README, and pinned the repo to your GitHub profile. Then you applied for a job and never heard back. Sound familiar? Here is the uncomfortable truth: most recruiters spend less than two minutes on your GitHub before making

You're deep into a job search. You've got three companies asking to see your work, each interested in different projects. Your best code sits in private GitHub repos, and now you need to share it without turning your GitHub into a free-for-all. Sound familiar? The default

You have spent months building projects, writing clean code, and learning new frameworks. But when it comes time to actually land a job, none of that matters if nobody can see your work. A developer portfolio is not just a nice-to-have. It is the thing that separates you from the

You've decided to use take-home coding assessments in your hiring process. Smart move — they give candidates a realistic environment to demonstrate skills, and they give you actual code to evaluate instead of whiteboard trivia. But then the logistics hit. How do you send the assignment? Email a zip

You are staring at a Git log full of messages like "fix stuff," "wip," and "final final v2." Sound familiar? Bad commit messages are one of the most common (and most avoidable) sources of friction on development teams. When something breaks in production and

You just finished building a project you are genuinely proud of. The code is clean, the architecture is solid, and it actually solves a real problem. Then you push it to GitHub and realize the README is either nonexistent or a single line that says "TODO." Sound familiar?

You've spent months building side projects, contributing to open source, and pinning your best repos. But when a recruiter lands on your GitHub profile, what are they actually looking at? Spoiler: it's probably not what you think. Most developers assume recruiters care about contribution streaks or
