Today, we're diving into a topic that might ruffle some feathers: the traditional developer portfolio. It's time to rethink what we've been told about showcasing our skills. I've got Derek Wood with me, a seasoned web developer and director at Perpetual Education, who believes the typical developer portfolio just doesn't cut it anymore. We'll explore why the old patterns don't work and how you can create a more personalized and impactful portfolio that really tells your story and makes you stand out. Let's get into it and discover how you can showcase your true potential in a way that catches employers' eyes.
