Good article on how to demonstrate competency in other ways. I don’t disagree with the premise on priority for a resume and portfolio, but a portfolio can be a good exercise to demonstrate skills.

A showcase doesn’t exactly replicate application features or processes, but it can show an understanding of the presentation layer, controllers, and writing clean code if you allow a potential employer to review the code

I can agree with on that. I mainly wrote this article to highlight the biggest mistake I've made and that is to lean on your portfolio and resume without really putting yourself out there. But a good portfolio does go a long way.
