I bothered creating a back-end dev portfolio. I have web pages that describe things I worked on. Some contain working software.

I feel it's necessary for my career. It explains to a potential employer or interviewer or recruiter the depth of my skills.

I'm highly confident a well-structured portfolio doesn't actually help in today's job search. In past job search efforts maybe it helped.

I don't know if LinkedIn and GitHub are enough. I have neither.

My back-end portfolio shows about 20% of the backend projects I worked on. When a project I launch doesn't get adopted and shows no interest from users I shut it down, often within a month. Some of my best work won't be seen by anyone.
