I have a dev portfolio that open me nice jobs opportunity being just a junior. Show to the world what you can really do is better than degrees 🎉

My portfolio isn't hard to implement and produce this "Woaw" effect to your teammates or recruiter 😉

Cool site, from a UX perspective I think you better keep close the burger menu button near to where it was opened from. I traveled to the other side of the screen to close it lol

Not so much actually. Only if have a cool idea for a new feature to implement or want to add some infos. For me a portfolio should be developed to create a 'Waouh' effect in less than 10 secs. At the first look, you have to present what you can do (but this part only works for frontend-developer 😓).

Hey thanks for the feedback :) Would you be so kind to add a little screenshot in an issue because I can't reproduce this layout issue: gitlab.com/johannchopin/my-cv/-/is...

I understand if you don't have the time for that +1

It does not mean that someone with a degree can not have or build a portfolio.
