Can you share your developer portfolio.

Nice, something I am thinking about doing, but have not started yet. Your post was a reminder. Thank you!

In 2024, your portfolio is EVERYTHING.

This is a total myth, and quite poor advice. Far more important is to have an active and interesting GitHub/GitLab/whatever account. Anyone hiring who actually knows what they're doing will put very little weight on a portfolio site. These sites are very often just 'lipstick on a pig' and do very little to increase your chances of getting hired. In fact, on numerous occasions I have dismissed candidates from consideration BECAUSE of their portfolio sites (bug ridden, inappropriate use of technology, over-engineering, etc.)

Unless you're a designer, it's far better to actually focus on making stuff. A curated vanity site with all the same cookie cutter beginner projects to show your skills is really not worth the bother.

If you really must make a portfolio site, try to make it something truly original and unusual. That's the only way you're going to stand out.

but i am not a front-end developer

Very few hiring managers actually look at portfolios. This is a great exercise for getting better as a dev and putting something real into production but it’s not very helpful for getting a job!

Hi @drjoshcsimmons and @sonnystark ,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I still feel (and this is just my personal perspective, so no pressure to agree) that building a diverse portfolio can really help you stand out. It’s a great way to host your articles, demonstrate your problem-solving skills, showcase your projects, and share links to your GitHub. All of which can set you apart from other talented developers out there. 😊😊😊

Cheers Nik
