> needing to maintain some public repo or an open-source project in order to get a job makes it no longer fun.
I completely agree, and I already have an above average amount of open source code available on Github. Some startups have found my projects and mentioned them in interviews, which was great, but I've never been directly asked for my code before an interview, and I like it that way. Writing code for the purpose of showing to potential employers would ruin the magic.
