I think the industry is maturing. When I started back in 2015, it was totally acceptable to simply produce prototypes that were far away from production-level code quality. But the expectation is now to be able to production-grade prediction systems, which means people pay more attention to software development skills. And if you are applying for such a role (which can pay very well), then people will care about that rather than publications.
