Thanks Theo. Since Ben Awad stopped posting regularly like 2 years ago you are now holding the spot for all the new and exciting things in the web world on youtube.
Good to know copy is something that's always top of mind for you. Some of the best advice I've ever received is, "Clear is better than clever." And that's always stuck with me. Bravo.

This video is so good, because I've been going to a lot of these websites and looking through the personal projects and blogposts and links (multiple sites have favorite things links). It feels like how web 1.0 must have felt
hopefully that doesn't hurt it in the algorithm since I'm spending less time on youtube... World has bad incentives sometimes. (Just a theory that it would affect it negatively though)
I feel like the truck driving portfolio could have enemies that make it easier for you to run into key information if you're not driving in the right direction very fast.
I think a lot of these are cool, but in my opinion, they're made for other devs to go "wow". A non-dev looking to potentially hire you will be frustrated with a lot of these websites, and go to a more simple one that gives they what they need without the headache.
I agree. I suppose more complex/eye-catching sites would make sense for senior developers, who will probably have another Senior/Staff developer check out their work before hiring them.
@@healinbeet Maybe, but I don't think making "flashy" sites is that difficult. I'd be more interested in seeing how clean the code is and how the website performs. If it's flashy but gets 15% on Google PageSpeed, there's a problem lol
11:20 I honestly liked this so much; for one reason and that is colors and text are readable, even more than those modern sites that try to make fancy design but don't care as much about readability.
Don't be depressed. Be inspired! Look at what they did and try to make it yourself. Succeed or fail, your skills will go up. And remember, you see an end product, not the struggle of how they got there.
Has portfolio taken on a different meaning? Rauno's was first site that was actually a portfolio, i.e. collection of work, and not just a single layout. Jesse has a portfolio, Bruno has a portfolio. Bunch of others we just got to see the case but not the work.
No, most of these would not be good portfolios for job hunting. But those ones are by people who have established resumes already, so they don't need to lean on their portfolio to show their work. Instead they use their portfolio to show off their skills and personality. If you're a newer dev then you wouldn't want to make a portfolio like those at all, recruiters would skip you just from how difficult it is to tell what your actual projects and skills are.
I tried making a cool resume to stand out from the crowd... But then none of the automated resume-parsing tools that recruitment websites use nowadays could understand it anymore. That's the fastest way to crush someone's motivation I swear.
Don’t mean to be mean but even on Netscape era there was websites that were more than those ones 😂 The internet is so boring these days. It’s all about the comments section and SN nows 😂

Nothing like when a website makes you go right-click + inspect.

I also miss Ben :(
Hey, editor, good job you did at 12:33
@outreach360-tech it will be, eventually:)
immediately checked my open tabs :S
Haha same
ikr, i was like what was that 🤣
😂

12:32 subtle but respectable editor
Man of culture
"Slid in real nice and quick". Oh
I appreciate that youtube made it clear that i was not the only gentleman to rewind at the spike at 12:20
12:33 wait what
it caught me of guard 🤣
"My work has been featured multiple times by various publications 📚 and awards shows, including my 👩🏾 mom's Facebook Timeline. "

12:33 what the hell, you hiding primeagen?
LMAO
I knew I heard something!
Me too 😂😂😂😂😂
28:40 that Lain website was super sick
This is so amazing, I get a lot of inspirations. Will soon start working on my own portfolio.
21:25 Theo just casually leaking everything
Bro what was that at 12:32 I think I heard something. 😂😂😂
😮
😅lol
dan abramov's dangling parenthesis is such a GOAT move
Let's see paul allen's portfolio website
😭😭 lol
thanks to all the featured developers for giving me the inspiration to keep going ♥
Loved the video. Even if I can't do shit, it is a lot of good ideas and goals.
12:32 wtf was that 😂
5:55 how did he do the background of the website are those different images that on drag they show different angles?

This was so great! I really enjoyed watching! Thank You! 😊
The website "Making good shit since 2009" (Minute 23:40) is great, it reminds me on the movie "They Live".
1:00 Actually, it's more readable on mobile because the width of the page seems to be bound the width of the screen
Great, now I feel bad about the amount of work I'm putting into my projects
Same here 😭
What was the sound on 12:33 😂

Depression hits when I look at how talented others are :(

12:33 WTH was that?????? I need freaking explanation Theo
Lol
I'm quite embarrassed of my portfolio, but the most important thing is to have one at all.
12:32 what are you doing step th-
Fun video! You should follow up with one about non portfolio stuff as well 😋
12:33 guys did you hear that 'ah'
Uwu
0:00 you are giving such "Al Yankovic - Fat" vibes there, like right at the start before he pulls the chord. Are you his lost son?
What an awsome video. Thanks Theo
12:32 what was that 😂
12:33 what was that sound 😂
Where do people find the time?
12:33 ... what was that sound???
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that 😂😂😂

this inspired me to update my portfolio
Who heard the moaning 😮😂
14:00 Dude has a mi blowing site and still puts "aspiring" in there
This is really amazing! 🤓
the apple guy was spot on
11:15 I don't really see anything interactive on Firefox , but looks great on video
cant unsee T6 with your logo now
I feel like a very tiny amount of these are actually good for job applications.
Theo, Can you make a vid about eslint and its formatting deprecations?
Where are links to these protfolios?
12:33 ????
28:54 That is from Serial Experiments Lain.
Seems no-one here knows about her

who gives a shit? just build a sick portfolio for the fuck of it
Portfolio != resume
Do not chase a girl that select men on keywords or size
dude i didn't even know about that overscrolling thing until now. what the hell, is this an apple thing????
When is the next porfolio stream? I need to submit few bangers for you to review
Yoooo Greg with the RIT callout on his site.
6:20 im high as hell and this looks absolutely bonkers
jesse's ramen isnt live anymore :(
Last one is crazy and inspiring
This is definitely the kind of inspiration I like to see
I love a good show page, but I think making your user play a game to find info is a bit extra haha
You missed out on a lot by not having sound on
What matters the most? A cool animated website or technologies you mentioned there?
bros just flexing his 120hz laptop straight up
28:46 Let's All Love Lain
Seems no-one here knows about her
I was inspired by this video to think about what kinds of things I would like my portfolio to communicate… Thanks Theo!
The 2nd last site was an initiation LOL.
after being able to have humoungous success and recockning in the field, you can afford to have a site like Dan Abramov.
I've literally never thought about my, web dev, portfolio [I specify web dev because I do very much think about my cinematography portfolio]
If your portfolio doesn't have Open Graph images, do you even have a portfolio?
Do you have an idea, how jesse zhou created his 3D portfolio. It is absolutley stunning. If anybody has a clue, do not leave out any info :)
12:33 wtf
😂
shit i had to replay it twice lol
Just saw the video. Thanks a lot for the feedback. I will definitely improve it in a second iteration.
theo why did you ai upscale your face....
The moan at 12:32

I believe Dan Abramov's site has not just a parenthesis, it's a Russia smile
I've talked to enough Russian gamers to know that, that's just a smile ))
Theo needs to watch Lain
