I like how you review other people's portfolio, I mean constructive feedback and don't put other people down while also never hide good impressions! good luck man ...
This is a REAL review. The most concise and critical review, not just reacting 'wow! I like this' to everything like every other youtuber. Much appreciated.
Ah snap Darian I never actually commented here! Thank you for doing this and reviewing my portfolio. I've been working about 9 months now and I finally updated my stanky-ass contact form. By the way, the reason the Expenses App isn't hosted is because it's an Electron app, not a web app. I got stuck when trying to build the app into a downloadable package, and never got back around to that since I'm not job searching now and the project is dated - maybe one day! I feel super gratified by your comments! A lot of work went into all this stuff. Hope your girlfriend's job search went well and if she did find a job using Javascript Jobs USA that'd be pretty sick.
@@peteryoung4705 Thanks. During the pandemic I was unemployed, so I did 3 months of full-time learning, then a 4-month bootcamp. Flexbox and responsive design might have been the most impactful skills I learned that helped me build a good looking UI. I liked flexbox zombies for that.
I really like the way you review these. As a high schooler just starting out you pointed out a lot of improvements I can apply to my own portfolio, and your insight is helpful. Thanks brother
Thanks a lot for the review I really appreciate it... Managed to land a job... I worked tirelessly on my portfolio for 3 days, and just felt lazy to fix some of the issues. Thank you for highlighting them.
This stuff is great, I'm really glad I found your channel. I recently got my first full-time full-stack job (been working as a part-time developer while finishing University), and this is a great way to see what people are looking for in portfolios and projects. By the way, has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like former UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz?
It's 2 Am right now and I'm kinda sleepy but I'm trying to push through the video..i think I'll just watch in the morning ❤ bless you for doing all the good work
Thanks so much for this. I'm struggling to find a job after almost a year long work gap, and looking for eays to make my portfolio stand out. This was really helpful, thank you!
Wait.. People are using something like Wix to build a site and then adding it to their resume as if they built it? I'm confused... I'm still a 1st-year student but I would assume if it's on your resume, that you build it from scratch?
I thought the same. ;) Maybe building your own projects is more important than a portfolio website. Sometimes people put their own portfolio website like some independent project. I'm confused.
Thanks for sharing this! It's definitely helpful to hear the perspective of someone who's farther along the path. And best of luck w your channel! U have at least one new subscriber here :)
I remember that Sass project is not his own work. This project was built by Jonas Schmedtmann, who is a top teacher in Udemy. this project is from his Sass course
After completing a Diploma in Web development and Design last year, watching this video makes me realise how screwed I am. What a worthless course that taught me virtually nothing.
Awesome video! As someone who's just starting out, your videos are super informative and have really helped me get a grasp on what I should aim to learn and create. Many "Do's & Dont's" gems in here. Maybe one day you'll review something of mine! Liked and Subbed. Thanks again Darian! :)
The more you do it the more you roll the dice. But the truth is that people looking at your portfolio that are gonna pay you probably aren’t gonna notice.
@@DarianSampare I wouldn't be so sure about that. The people skimming portfolios are more likely than ANYONE to notice, you think someone who views 20+ portfolios per day won't notice when 2 look identical? you noticed the reactive poligon background that 2 portfolios shared in this one video alone
I just started a web developer bootcamp and so far only touched html and css and so much to learn. My question is if i wanna focus on front end or full stack. I dont have a degree and really have a passion to learn coding. I dont wanna learn too many different things otherswise i feel like i wouldnt have went deep enough on any. My plan so far is html/Css/Javascript/React in that order. After the bootcamp go deeper on react. Let me know your opinion , im not in a rush to learn and get a job but i wanna be efficient and learn the right way and hopefully in 12 months or so be confident enough to apply for a job
I dont know many, i recognized that codependent background template (with the hover effects) as being reused code years ago before i even started doing frontend or coded seriously. I am pretty sure a hiring manager would notice right away and it could give them a bad impression of you right off the bat. They might not care, but its just not worth it in my opiniom to use a tacky design and risk it.
I have a question, do they make these portfolios using pure html css and javascript?, I mean being a junior developer isn't that too good? I'm confused.
I just got to your channel and I'm loving your videos. Keep doing a great job, I will be waitting for more videos like this :D Maybe you should make a serie out of this kind of vid :D
@@DarianSampare sry I mean't like when you click it, it scrolls to the area you want. Like your portfolio you showed like when you click something in the nav it scrolls down to area you want them to see. Was trying to do that.
250$ cheap?!? Welp guess this is what I’m gnna do now coding is my life so why not make a living off it I was expecting a website to be like 100$ tops or some guess I’m way off
@@yawshee1427 not really. Think about it, many people don't know how, and it will be used to generate profit more likely than not. A dev has to design it, get features working, revise them if the client wants different stuff done, and more. And it has to look nice, run efficiently, and optimized. Even web builders like wix for example can charge a good amount tho I'd say less. $400 if someone wants to pay someone.
@@eegernades well I mean i don’t find it very difficulty to create a working website for myself and if someone asks me to make something I make it without any questions but if I can make this amount of money I’m down to do so
I was expecting extremely polished and complex projects made from scratch rather than some websites that could be easily copied from a random TH-cam tutorial made by a teenager, is the bar really that low?
Thanks for the video. Planning on getting in to coding. Any of us could die at any second. Have you though about where you’re going? Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

@@PatrycjaBZalas it's used to document and show your projects so if the focus isn't on the website, there's no need to make one from scratch
@@PatrycjaBZalas on the other hand if you're going for front-end design, then you would perhaps want to build something from scratch
I'm shocked on Wix. I know people do that with WordPress, but its WordPress. Like 70% of the web is built with it.
I don't see what's wrong with that. Its a valid tool to use.
Please keep making these videos! These help out a lot

That’s freaking awesome to hear! I’m glad it’s helping you out. I’d be happy to review your stuff once it’s done.
Finishing my last weeks of boot camp for full stack, once i get some projects and my portfolio done, ima send it your way xD
This video is incredibly helpful

I see a lot of template usage or tutorials from udemy courses...
The more you do it the more you roll the dice. But the truth is that people looking at your portfolio that are gonna pay you probably aren’t gonna notice.
th-cam.com/video/hM4uqvgjbMM/w-d-xo.html you can send your portfolo to us
@John wdym tutorials are other things?

Same and boring projects for everyone. People need to be creative. Just build something for yourself.
22:52 that is a udemy project as well
GREAT reviews man
Great stuff, thank you!
Thank you for your effort and the video. Very helpful!
Awesome Review .
Mark Rober spitting facts
23:27 this website is from udemy course I done that course with CSS grid myself why people claim whats not code by them
You're one of the only people who recognized it- so that's why right there.
None of the code belongs to us. We didn't create coding. As long as they understand it that is all that matters.
the sped up oops is so hilarious to me lmao!
16:46 buddy was wilding with that comment 😂
thanks for this!!
Damn this was so discouraging
The second looks really good!
Thanks gotta work more on my skills
there's agency who build an e-commerce website around 250USD in my country so kinda relatable to the third one😂

that makes me wanna get a crochet baby yoda

Front end first, then back end to become a full stack.
Don't put too much on your plate.
That was really useful thanks

do you know the name of it?
Mine is like a child’s compared to some of these, time to get coding
Dont be discouraged, most of them copied their code and couldn’t recreate it on their own.
simplefolio ganggggg
I have a question, do they make these portfolios using pure html css and javascript?, I mean being a junior developer isn't that too good? I'm confused.
To me it looks like a bunch of templates and bootcamp/online courses projects, nothing original.
@@pablom2274 ya probably
You should probably censor those personal information sections out. You know for security reasons (:
So is a solid ecommerce app like the second person had mean you're job ready?
How long does it take to create a shopping websites like the ones on the video?
i think showing their email addresses in the video uncensored may be an issue
It's displayed publically on their website though. Anyone could go look at it
"Don't undersell yourself" *Titles video "Junior Developer"*
Because that’s what they are. I’d they have little to no work experience then they are considered a junior developer
why do people send in websites that are a buggy mess. this has to be staged for views or something
I just got to your channel and I'm loving your videos.
Keep doing a great job, I will be waitting for more videos like this :D
Maybe you should make a serie out of this kind of vid :D
More portfolios/resumes each week on the way.

whats the css when you click at 27:00 it moves to the area you want?
That’s a mixture of CSS and JS for that little trick. There is a codepen of it out there somewhere…
@@DarianSampare do you know the link or whats it called so I can look it up? Thanks :)
Nope, just something I’ve seen in the past!
@@DarianSampare sry I mean't like when you click it, it scrolls to the area you want. Like your portfolio you showed like when you click something in the nav it scrolls down to area you want them to see. Was trying to do that.
@winston brown hey I found that you can do a ahref # and then target an id and it would move where that id is
2:52, 6:48, 11:25,
6:00 How it looks "really good"? Actually it looks really bad!
Hey cool name!
I also go to holberton in tulsa!
why did I bother learning anything other than javascript?
Because everyone and their mom knows js. You are competing with every single dev on the market
I would rather make a shit crappy website by myself than picking up a template
Its not about what YOU would do. Its about what the big boss wants you to do.
How can we send portfolio to you ?
th-cam.com/video/hM4uqvgjbMM/w-d-xo.html you can send portfolio to us also we will aproach you and if it's good then i mention in my videos
250$ cheap?!? Welp guess this is what I’m gnna do now coding is my life so why not make a living off it I was expecting a website to be like 100$ tops or some guess I’m way off

lol this is one of those failed fake it till you make it channels~
