Why GitHub projects need more than a tech stack on a resume

A developer who spent weekends building an app often reduces it to a single resume line listing only tools. The article argues a project description should convey what the application does, the candidate's own contribution, and a concrete engineering decision that can be discussed. It advises being candid about prototypes or classroom work, since accurate framing still shows useful skills. Bullets should focus on the author's own work, avoiding inflated ownership claims or unsupported percentages. Performance claims need clear conditions and measurements, and small verifiable results are preferred over dramatic numbers that cannot be reconstructed.
