I agree totally - you really don't need a portfolio site. I've never had one, and all the best devs I've hired didn't have one either.

It's also true that having one can backfire. I've rejected potential candidates due to their portfolio sites before - overengineered, using inappropriate technology for such a simple site, poor code etc.
