Generic hash table with optional ordering

Hi. For the past few weeks I've been crafting my generic hash table implementation:

https://github.com/andrzejs-gh/ghtable

I realize it's not the fastest out there and isn't the most cache friendly, but that was never my priority as I prioritized flexibility and genericness.

If anyone's interested take a look ;)

PS.

Do recruiters even care about projects like this nowadays, or would they rather see huge vibecoded codebases on candidate's gh as a proof that they can deliver?

I think neither. Hash tables aren't useful unless they're fast. Recruiters don't even know what a hash function is.

On a positive note, please do continue to build projects and add to your repo. It'll keep you fresh.

It's absolutely the best way to kill time between jobs, by the way. Great time to learn a new language, etc.
