Your GitHub is your CV.
Each repo must have: • Clear name (android-task-manager) • Screenshots • Features list • Tech stack • Clean commits
🚫 No messy repos 🚫 No “first commit” junk
⸻
5️⃣ BURNOUT PREVENTION (THIS KEEPS YOU CONSISTENT) • ❌ No coding after warehouse shifts • ✅ Morning coding only • ✅ One rest evening per week • ✅ One full rest day per month (non-negotiable)
Consistency beats grind.
