Something you'll see on social media is young people post "look what I made" and some layperson or novice will rip into them about how easy and basic it was, then an industry professional will say it's better than most of their coworkers and they'd get hired on the spot as at least an intern.
Commenters online are miserable bores.
I asked someone to apply at a job because of some "basic" but well-thought-out PowerShell in their GitHub that approached a problem in a very ingeniously elegant way.
Meanwhile, we had humans doing the same thing by hand as their entire job.
That's the real world. Your competing with malaise.
It often takes great insight into the problem and other prior attempts at solutions, to build something that appears simple to an outsider.
