Ask HN: Running an Open Source Project Help Job Hunt?
By promoting and showing an open source project in an interview that you are a key developer of.  One that you lead with your ideas and code.  Leaving the project means it may go in a direction you don&#x27;t want it too.<p>Two routes I see this taking: the project will show what you can do.  And on the other hand it will not help in the fact, the hiring agent will think you will be working on X project instead of working for the hiring company.<p>Is it better to not say anything about the project (unless they find you through it).  Also would the hiring agent even look into the project?
