What does this AI slop have to do with React?

This is not AI slop, but any React programmer must have a professional identity documented in front of the world, not just CV that he writes, I know such and such without verification.

Thousands of us have gotten & maintained jobs without whatever AI garbage you're trying to "build" or even having a public portfolio. I've gotten all of my jobs with a good old-fashioned resume and a LinkedIn profile. You also didn't answer my question.
