A GitHub link is not a default requirement on a software engineer resume. It helps when it gives a hiring team better evidence of how you work, what you build, or what kind of technical judgment you have. It hurts when it sends them to a messy profile, half-finished tutorials, or repositories that add less than the resume already shows.

There is no magic year cutoff that works for every tech resume. The useful question is simpler: how far back do you need to go before older experience stops changing how a hiring team reads your fit for this role? Once a role stops adding evidence, it starts taking space from stronger, newer proof.
