This guy from Japan still has my favorite portfolio so far:

I shared it a while ago here, but it didn't get much traction.

As a programming instructor, I'm always encouraging my students to keep beautiful, up to date portfolios. I appreciate the numerous examples in this thread, and will be sure to pass along the inspiration to my students! Here's mine: https://droxey.com

This makes me wish I took more screenshots of my old websites. My personal sites have had some very fun evolutions, including some outrageous styles/themes. May have to checkout the Wayback Machine. I’ve migrated from Wordpress, to rails, to Hakyll, and finally to my own static site generator in Kotlin, Kakyll. :)

My most recent change which significantly improved traffic was making it mobile friendly. Im also no in the process of making blog content fit to percentages of the page instead of absolute pixel size.

My one issue is that I’m always a bit concerned that my first page is a wall of blog post titles... not the most pretty. feedback welcome: http://kennycason.com

I would appreciate any feedback: https://www.echevarria.io/. It's just basic HTML, CSS, and I think three small scripts for the whole thing.

I'm a fan of naked-feeling 2000s sites. https://patrickcollison.com/ https://tomual.com/ http://halvor.work/

Had a chuckle at the "weakness" of that last one. Pretty sure "ugh, I just work too hard!" is everybody's go to weakness.
