This again? Hello, I'm your peer. You're showing me. Not HR, not the Engineering Manager, not some mythical burn-down chart, but your partner in crime. What sort of jobs have you pulled? I don't care about the minutiae, but about the overall scene. Code smell is a factor, like it or not. Same story for by-catch and "gore" in the form of spaghetti, inheritance and commentary. If you can't be bothered, I get it. Punt, shift blame, cross your arms and dig your heels in. I don't care, because without a portfolio, I don't have an opportunity to appreciate the qualities of your work, good or bad.
