Yeah, I agree with a lot of this advice. In my opinion, portfolios should be used to get the interview. I have never heard of anyone being hired from a portfolio alone.

If it's necessary to create a portfolio, there are people, including designers, who use a text-only portfolio to describe themselves and their background. But the advice to rely on github is the best. I'd think that's where most developer employers would look to get an idea on someone's technical abilities.
