What kinds of projects should be on a tech industry resume?

Update: 2022-10-14

Description

Live question from a Twitch user, asking what kinds of projects I like to see on a tech resume. Everything you show on a resume should make it easy and clear what value you bring to my company, whether it's your skills, your background, or your project work. I list three kinds of projects I hope to see on your resume. You can view a sample here https://tig.fyi/resumesample
