please Nick. Please Nick. You look very very tired. Please for your health. Take a week off from computers and focus on healthy activities. It will help your life.
I had your "The Fastest Way to Become a Software Developer" video on my watch list to return to it to create a portfolio, and now you make it even more specific. Thanks!
That's definitely not true. A good portfolio showcasing your work that looks amazing tells 10 times more about your skills than just a single A4 paper.
It depends on your level of experience. If you are trying to get your first job you need all the help you can get. A portfolio can prove you can use actually code and it can show where your skill level is at.
I have never been in a situation where having vs not having a portfolio would have made a difference in the recruitment process. It's just not something recruiters / interviewers care about.
It has made difference for me though. I have had 3 interviews this far(not that much I know), but in 2 of them I was asked questions about my portfolio projects after I mentioned them. "Why did you use this technology?", "What was the hardest thing in that project?" and so on. I think it played a big role for me getting that job. I said that I did a full fullstack project all by myself, with jwt auth and stuff so the interviewer from that point on knew that I know backend and how to interact with it no problem(this was a frontend junior-middle job), so he didn't even ask me any questions about that. Which in the end made my interview last only 14 minutes and me getting that job lol. If I didn't had a portfolio(projects I made by myself to talk about in an interview), I guess the interview would have been 30+ minutes with me answering a bunch of other questions, possibly reducing my chances of getting the job.
Yea but today it seems like the portofolio is more important than the projects, and should spent more time working on your portofolio than on your projects. And actually I see that every week on LinkedIn, a random guy coming up with a portofolio but with garbage projects. When you get hired, you're not gonna build more portofolios, but you gonna run tests and build complex stuff. Personnally I spent 5 days on my portofolio and 1-2 year(s) on my projects. Also the best project is always to respond to a client demand, or to have actual real users to your website, both ways it will give you responsabilities.
How do you do that while not violating NDA's? Also, what if you are at a stealth startup where they are Nazi about what u talk about outside their 4 walls?
No, you need only portfolio if you are a front-end developer. Backend developers just need to show their GitHub repository and HR should have experienced backend developer which check how you write a code.
The word "portfolio" does not necessarily mean visual representation of something. If you are a backend developer, your GitHub IS already considered your portfolio to some extent. But probably arranging your projects(links to github projects) onto a single page with brief explanations about techologies used/overall project descriptions is even better. If you think that simply linking your github with 60 repositories in it is enough, you are wrong. You should yourself choose what projects there are the biggest and most significant to your current position, and better if you briefly explain what they do(=portfolio). "and HR should have experienced backend developer which check how you write a code" - if you have a lot of repositories and/or contibutions(with forks and stuff), no sane person would look through all your repositories to find which is related and which shows your skills better. A lot of the times that experienced backend developer may look at 2-3 repositories and go on to the next candidate. You wouldn't want him to see a bunch of small projects(or even worse, failed/wip projects) and label you as a "beginner developer" or "bad coder" just from that, right? You should yourself present in a brief and simple way what you can do and give straight links to the example projects. That is basically called a portfolio.
@@dev_with_me That is good enough I guess for a backend position. I would call it a "mini portfolio". But if you didn't add brief descriptions and used technologies, and only added links, you should add them though. It certainly helps the interviewer, hr, and the developers that will be checking your projects.
I think focusing on "what you want to build" opposed to "what gets you a job" should be first. You'll hear "learn HTML, CSS, JS" and to that I'd say it's a good start as for any dev needs some basic understanding of web tech. But if you want to get into lets say robotics then you'll probably want to try another language.
Is there a free hosting site that I can use? maybe even temporarily..The price is not much regarding the product but in some country like mine we dont have interntional payment system so we have to hit up our friends and family in different country which is a hassle..

Totally disagree! You do not need a portfolio! I would even say that do not create one if you are just starting out. Junior developers with no experience do not know what they are doing and that is OK. Just build up your linkedIn CV and try to land any software developer position. You are going to learn soo soo much more on the spot developing and getting actually paid for it. By building up a portfolio you will be spending time and not even getting paid for it. You are far more likely to make more errors building your portfolio if you are a junior.

I say a good CV is more important as long as you have a lot of experience. If not, then a demo portfolio will definitely help
Yeah but that opinion doesn’t make as much money from hostinger 😂

@@Star-rd9eg I have been rejected after interviews, I'm far from being a coding jesus ! But it wasn't because of a lack of portfolio.

It only made the difference when I was getting a Junior level job, after that no one cares. Its about the experience.

his knowledge with real life stories, it's the best I've seen, important is "important value"
a github with lots of commits is the best portfolio

Wah
I don’t have a portfolio, yet I’m a pretty ok backend engineer, mediocre I’d say, earning a little more than median salary for developers in my region
How much does a developer earn in Russia? I'm curious because here in Brazil 700/1000$ per month is the median salary for jr developers.
at least a github profile with a few projects is essential.
I've never seen someone try and get referral money harder than this.
Out of context. But I'm really really lost and don't know where to start nor what to properly learn to land a job

Hi Nick, does portfolio need a backend ?
maybe for form submissions, but you can just call a third party API or make serverless function to send emails

Legit question, why not just use LinkedIn? They have a section for projects and you can add descriptions, links, etc.
