I’ve seen it a hundred times. A candidate’s resume looks promising. They have the right keywords, a decent bootcamp or degree, and I’m ready to be impressed. I click the “portfolio” link in their resume, and… nothing. A 404 error. A private GitHub repo. A “coming soon” page. Or, maybe worst of all, a single, […]
