Ha! You're good. I'm still in uni, so I am interviewing for internships (mainly for big tech companies right now since I had a taste at a IoT startup last year). Perhaps I am underestimating myself, but I'm in no rush.
Thank you reminding me about that diagramming and xml-parsing repos. Regarding the diagramming repo, that was honestly some of worst code I've written (2000 lined React class with 15 states). It's so bad that I put a warning in the repo and haven't gone back to it since. And regarding the xml parsing repo, wow, you really looked carefully! I however added a funny warning regarding this in the readme (https://github.com/BlastWind/xml-leaf-highlighter#design-dec...). I wanted to use regex since it was just a school project. Going to add an additional warning, thanks.
All the luck to you! You seem to have all the qualities needed to succeed in our industry, and some on top: not many engineers are this good at speaking. If you can wrestle with the technical problems well enough you'll find soft skills to be such a force multiplier it's ridiculous.
