This was very helpful! Made me realize I should add my skills, with icons before jumping into my projects, thanks!

[vicpeters]

wow this definitely looks like something I’d consider! Thanks for this content. I just watched a few of your videos and I’m wondering how you haven’t blown up yet.

There’s so many forms on interview in coding (the portfolio, the website, the GitHub, LinkedIn, the actual interview, ) it’s very hard to practice for all but you are enabling people to do that.
