Comparing the Two Platforms
Both platforms serve distinct purposes in a developer's career:
- GitHub Profile README: Reaches technical reviewers, open-source maintainers, and engineering managers already browsing GitHub. Requires 0 hosting setup and updates in real time.
- Personal Portfolio Website: Full control over custom domain, interactive web apps, client testimonials, and custom UI design.
The Hybrid Strategy (Best Results)
Use your GitHub Profile README as the technical entry point, featuring a prominent badge linking to your custom portfolio website, and vice versa.
