What should I do to complete my portfolio?

Question

Portfolio

There is a tolerable knowledge of python-javascript-go.
There is no portfolio of projects to somehow show oneself on the freelance exchange.
What can you do yourself? Make a couple of sites of non-existent firms-online stores? Procrastination attacks, because it's useless work, and given my dislike for layout... True, you can take a free template... But it's somehow unprofessional.
Can you advise what to do? What is the best way to fill your portfolio with such a stack of technologies? Can you show your portfolio of projects?

Answer 1

Open Source projects on GitHub. Engage, develop, if it works, they will be a better portfolio than real stupid Internet stores.

Answer 2

There is tolerable knowledge

These statements contradict each other. Knowledge in the field of software development cannot be without practice.
Write a couple of simple websites. For example a Toaster clone.

Answer 3

Hello, I already wrote about this on my blog, just choose a small project you like and do it for yourself, and there will be something to put in the portfolio and a gram of confidence for subsequent projects will appear.

Answer 4

Look for TK on any freelance sites. Make a couple of projects, albeit only for yourself, not to order. Well, or get a job for half a year in some development company. There will be experience and some portfolio.
Just as mentioned above, take ready-made things and make your own analogue.
But in general, a portfolio is a plus, but freelancing is not always needed, you can start without a portfolio. The main skills are confirmed by the test. Although without the experience of anything created, talking about skills is stupid. All skills are experience, not books read.

Answer 5

If you don’t have your own ideas, look for a project on spark.ru that you like - there are a lot of ideas, trouble with the performers :)

Answer 6

even if you are a coder, people need drawings
DRAWINGS!
yes, a paradox .... but what to do?)

Answer 7

I think you have enough ideas. Start your startup, most importantly, it can be quite simple BUT it should solve the problem well if it is a general one, if not, then at least yours.

Answer 8

If you have the strength and desire to contribute to open source, then the project can be searched here , activity on the github will already tell a lot to an advanced customer.
For a portfolio, you can write something of your own - a parser, a browser plugin, an editor module, etc.
