On: Ask HN: What sort of side-projects are useful for getting jobs?

[ryandrake]

OK, I'll bite. What's the secret? Because nobody yet has E-mailed me out of the blue with my next job offer.

There's no secret. Just determination and a willingness to work hard under the assumption that no one owes you anything.

You could start open sourcing some of your work right now and build your self up on GitHub. Maybe start a blog too.
