Almost my entire career I've worked in open source, so it's very easy to see what my technical work looks like. No one has ever looked at it.
When I have been on the other side, I have looked at the GitHub "portfolio" of junior applicants, but TBH, it didn't bring me much. There will always be lots of opportunities for improvements in those examples, but that's the point - I expect them to improve on the job.
More experienced developers will almost never have significant work on GitHub, and if they do, it's not a "portfolio", but just their past work.
One thing that kinda helped for me is realising that nobody will care about my point, if they're still thinking about the point they want to make themselves. Realising that helps me wait.
Only downside is that I then sometimes miss other points, and sometimes also forget my own point still.
I don't think that was intended as an example of a long German word being short in English. Rather, it was an example of the meaning of a word being clear from the word itself.
