Do Personal Website still Work?

Hey everyone 👋

So here's something that's been on my mind lately — especially with how competitive job applications have gotten.

Every time I sit down to apply somewhere, I go through this whole internal debate: Should my resume and personal website match in style and design? Should I even have a personal website, or is a solid LinkedIn + GitHub combo enough these days? And if I do have a website, how much effort should I really put into building a cohesive personal brand around it — without overcomplicating things?

Honestly, I go back and forth on this every single time I come across a new application. It feels like everyone has a different take on what actually moves the needle.

So I'm curious — what's worked for you? Have you found that a personal site actually made a difference, or did you land roles just fine without one? Would love to hear what's clicking in this market.

Oh and while I'm here — here's my website: Visit my website
