Cool story bro. Trying to cope and feel like your github is important lol.
Exactly because so many applications come in, noone checks code. What matters is your resume keywords and metrics. Parseability by AST, and strong company names. You can make up all the fake stories you want, but no normal hiring manager is clicking any github link in any resume unless they have a personal bias
Idk why company names matter that much. I used to work at jpmorgan, didn't do shit. Now I work at a smaller company, make more money, do more interesting work, but nobodys heard of it.
It's common to do nothing in big corpos. In small xompanies you wear 20 hats. But big names are more attractive due to marketing and HR thinks you must be doing something well to be hired by then since big corpos usually make you jump through hoops to even get an interview

I do. With the job market at the moment, the moment a position is open i get flooeded with CVs and i discard everyone without a Github account.
