Knowing how to make code that not only runs, but runs well. If you can do that AND make it readily apparent to a potential employer, you'll be doing yourself a favour.

If you want a job, you need to write a fuckton of code. It doesn't matter if it does anything, you just need to have a lot of it, because higher line count = better. If you spend time researching and experimenting solutions to a complicated problem and the solution ends up being 5 lines of code, you'll be fired because you should have made those 5 lines in 10 seconds. You can fix it by writing a couple thousand lines of garbage that doesn't do anything, now your solution looks impressive.

Autism. Not even joking. Being autistically obsessed with programming is the thing that separates a great programmer from a good one. It's not something that can be learnt.
As for job applications, you're coming at this from the wrong angle. You don't need to be the greatest programmer to get a good job, you just need to be good at selling yourself. Projects and accomplishments to point to helps a lot, trying to pick up on what kind of person you're being interviewed by does too. If you're planning on going to some shitty gay megacorp in San Francisco or whatever, you probably want to brush up a lot on algorithms and data structures. Leetcode is a great tool for that. Expect whiteboard questions if you go somewhere like that. If you're being interviewed by someone non-technical, focus more on cost saving and productivity than actual code. Numbers are especially good, even if they're made up. Talking about how you did this really cool, elegant mathematical transformation to simplify your code and make it run better is all well and good, but if you're talking to someone like that, he's probably more interested in you making the code run 20% faster or whatever the fuck.
Basically, just like, try to get a read on people and pander to them. It is extremely rare that your skills alone will land you a job.

Your code and projects will get you an interview, but you'll need some kind of people skills to actually land a job.

That's why you document your process by keeping a journal, you pajeet stinknigger. But not only that. Keeping a record of your process also lets you leverage that time invested years later, when you've long forgotten most of the decisions you made and why you made them.

You could do that, but most of the time you just end up spending that amount figuring out bugs in frameworkshit.

Lie on your resume or CV to get to the interview and then appear passionate about programming and look normal on the interview.
Also learn to code before that.
