Imagine spending 3 months building your portfolio.
- Dashboards polished; - Code cleaned.
Now, imagine someone with half your skills gets the job. Because their work looks like it solves a business problem, while yours looks like a course assignment.
Now imagine recruiters scrolling past your work, thinking: “Another one who just followed the tutorial.”
This is the “project ≠ portfolio” argument. It’s not about how much you build. It’s more ... what your work says about you ... And who it’s built for.
