   A GitHub account, personal website connected to your real name, and a LinkedIn are basically required to get anywhere in the software industry now and it really sucks.

     That's why I'm out. I'm literally going into woodworking and going to have a cool website. Everything is a subscription and any client hates to leave the system they currently have, even though it lost their data and customers and upped their charges.

     Working in a Corp is even worse. "Don't use regex, we have a 50mb library that does that for you in only 15 lines of code." Nevermind mine was 1 line.

     I'm not venting, you're venting!

     @souldessin At least you are still applying your CS skills into a different job instead of letting them go to waste.

     Seriously, I don't see any reason why emailing a ZIP file full of stuff you worked on over the years isn't a valid enough portfolio. Not everyone has a big enough presence to justify a personal website. They also want articles. For what? My opinions on the industry? It's just pointless.
