I'm actually cleaning up my GitHub repos at this very moment. So much basic stuff not really useful to anyone, things that other people clearly have done many times better. Old messy code, new messy code .... but to me they're experiences and represent invaluable learning that I've done.
I look at some repo that is a mess, but I remember making widget X work and how great that felt.
When someone says they created something I always think about what they must have learned to do that something, and not so much about the actual something.
I get a bit frustrated when folks critique something about "Yeah but this other thing" and so forth. For me that's almost never the point...
