In that case, I doubt any backend positions have such a field. At that point it really is up to the developer to just build one for fun.
- JohnFen 1y ago> I doubt any backend positions have such a field I haven't ever seen one, or been asked for one in those terms. I have often been asked to bring in something that demonstrates my work (which is a sort of micro-portfolio), and I do bring in a portfolio of my work even when not asked. I know that there's a certain point past the initial screening stages where work examples can really be effective.
- yeahimjt 1y agoThank you for this insight! When you say you bring in a portfolio of your work, what do you mean by that? Do you have something online that you present, or is it something physical?
- JohnFen 1y agoI bring in a USB stick (now -- it used to be a CD, and before that a floppy disk) containing programs I've written (both executables and the source) as well as example documentation, white papers, etc., when appropriate to the situation. I choose what goes into the portfolio specifically to demonstrate not only how I think as a dev, but also techniques and skills that I think are likely to be relevant.
