    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.
