Great article, Bonnie! I completely agree that having a portfolio is crucial for anyone seeking a job, regardless of whether they want to be a designer, developer, or technical writer. Personally, I've found that having profiles on platforms like dev.to, Medium, dribbble, and Hashnode has been extremely beneficial in showcasing my skills and experience.

Moreover, being both a designer and a developer has been a huge advantage when it comes to explaining my design and code choices. It's allowed me to put myself in the audience's shoes and explain my thought process as if I were talking out loud. This approach has helped me communicate my ideas clearly and effectively, which has ultimately helped me land more job opportunities.

Overall, having a well-crafted portfolio and the ability to effectively communicate your skills and experience are key components to securing a job in today's competitive job market.
I enjoy your work and as always keep up the great work, Bonnie!

Haha, ok - it's just that you have an awful lot of very similarly worded comments on posts. Looking suspiciously like bot behaviour

I agree that this article is excellent and valuable. I admire the author's talent and skills in writing technical articles. These are essential skills that I also aim to develop. After all, I study information technologies, but when it comes to written works, I encounter many problems. I found a way out, and with this site essays.edubirdie.com/computer-scie... I can get a good writing assignment. But I understand that I need to work on self-development and learn myself. Getting computer science assignment help is an easy and convenient way to cope with my writing tasks, but I want to write as well as the article's author.
