One thing most portfolio advice pieces like Budi Tanrim's miss is 'how much'. Some people don't share enough context, whereas others share far too much. Too much for someone to easily review without just sticking it in the 'nope' pile. When a job is highly sought after, it's really easy to end up in that no pile.
Great point. There's a balance. This is even more important during portfolio presentations where context goes on for too long leaving less time for content and questions.
