Hey,

You don't NEED a portfolio, but I personally think having one is a good thing. It allows you to upload projects you have been working on for recruiters, and companies to have a look at. Building a portfolio is also a skill that showcases you are capable of working on whichever technology stack you pick to build it.

I personally see more pros than cons when it comes to having a portfolio. Hope that helps!

Edit: Another good thing about having a portfolio is being able to link people/recruiters etc to things like your GitHub, Twitter etc. I personally like seeing other developers GitHub profiles to see what other projects they are working on and to see how active etc they are.

For sure there are more pros to having a portfolio. I think it is a good thing to have especially to display your work. Thank you!
