""How many GitHub repos do I need Are 3-4 enough" I was asked this question this morning. I personally do not think a green square matters. I don't think you need to make multiple daily commits to have value as a developer. I don't think the number of repos matters as much as the quality of those repos. You only need a couple of rock solid projects to demonstrate your coding abilities if you are trying to land your first job in tech. Now I don't think those projects should be basic YouTube tutorials you copied and pasted but actual strong projects that you built yourself. Something that solves"

Soft skills are not EASY items and they absolutely are necessary in today's market. Technical"
