Hiring managers and interview panelists don't spend more than a couple minutes looking at a portfolio. Two reasons: 1) They don't have much time to evaluate you or your projects, and 2) most portfolios look the same (short bio, a few stock photos, links to some clone sites).
So in most cases, the portfolio evaluation is about two things: "Does the portfolio exist?" and "Is there anything off in the design or content of this portfolio so I can disqualify the candidate?"
A portfolio should be simple and functional - introduce yourself and your work, very few bells and whistles. Make the design crisp and with personality, but professional.
I'm working on a separate post about the types of projects developers should have in a portfolio. But if you've built something with active users, or to support a client's line of business, that beats a practice project any day.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

Additional question while I am at it :
Getting from 0 to 1 is important and difficult.
Is there a couple of simple portfolios in that list that you would recommend from someone getting started ?
For each portfolio, take a look at the tech stack used by the developer.. I recommend to choose a portfolio that aligns with the technologies you are most comfortable with...
I think this is only true to an extent. I think recruiters don't look at your portfolio site, but hiring managers and panelists will and usually do. Having a clean site and ability to share your code of your site is helpful as well. Make sure you are following a11y accessibility and other standards.

I think that's correct, there is a double audience
some agency will do a first pass selection of profiles that might makes sense. Here you will want to be clear in when it makes sense to contact you and straight to the point
once this pre selection is done, the hiring manager, meaning your potential future boss will want to get deeper, will have more time and knowledge to do so
So it's probably a good idea to adapt to this double audience
write a high level TLDR of who you are and what you want
Looking forward to that article. Please, consider those ones who are looking for their first dev role too. Because portfolio projects are the critical factor for us.
