War-stories yes, portfolios no.

For example, how am I supposed to show off the OS build system for a proprietary rackmount widget that goes in a large airplane, where its chief achievement is seamlessly running patched and cross-compiled code that I didn't make which is also proprietary?

Or an internal ERP system that doesn't exist anymore for company which been acquired and digested by a bigger one.

I can't show off the code I'm proud of, I don't have permission or infrastructure to run it on my own... At best I might be able to make some sort of video in advance, but that won't tell you anything about the pieces I really worked on. It is both frustrating and freeing.
