People who call themselves developers but can't show a portfolio. There are a lot of these people in my country. If I had the change, i would like to meet them in person and ask them to print hello world on a piece of paper.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
All my work belongs to my employer, so I'd have to hustle on my own time to get a portfolio up. My own rant would be that it's not a reasonable expectation that everyone should code in their spare time.
Ahah before DEV I had zero publicly available code to show so I think this is pretty common for backend developers. There's no code or apps you can show.

I can't show a portfolio. If you asked me to print hello world on a piece of paper I'd open a text editor, type "hello world" and hit print.

Don't worry everyone, it's just from where I'm from.
I have a group of over 1000 freelancers and about 15% say they're devs but can't show a portfolio or a past work that they've done.
No Pun Intended.
