Unfortunately, you can't expect your work to speak for itself entirely. Having a portfolio or personal site allows potentials employers know who you are and that naturally sets you apart from everyone else. You can always link your GitHub from there.

I'd say it's wise to do so. There's not really a downside. People are going to ask for it (or your work) eventually, so you might as well go with your strongest foot forward.
I’m a full stack developer who has experience with several front-end tools like Reactjs, Vuejs, and jQuery as well as some back-end tools like PHP, Laravel, Node, and Express.

Hey! Not a dumb question at all. There are developers who go both routes. It's really up to you. I like having a portfolio site because A) I've been told that it has made the difference when getting a job and B) it's helped me land some freelance jobs. In addition, it also acts as a sort of playground for me to try new things out.
Waoh! Pretty smooth, nice work here.
I was wondering if programmers get to build a portfolio site ? Or do they just "throw" their projects and stuff on github...
Sorry if it sounds dumb, am new to this (programming/development) world.

So even though am not really experienced I should consider building one in the near future, right?

Noted it, thanks mate!

I see. It can be really helpful, if you wish to extend your visibility.
Thanks for the explaination!
