DevLinks vs. a GitHub README (or building it yourself)
A GitHub profile README is free and already where developers live — but it's GitHub-only, limited to markdown, and just as easy to leave stale as any portfolio site you meant to keep updating.

When a GitHub README or DIY portfolio fits better
If GitHub is truly the only place you want to be found, and you don't mind markdown, the README is genuinely free and sufficient.
When DevLinks fits better
If you want writing, Stack Overflow, and code snippets living next to your repos — without hand-maintaining any of it — that's the gap DevLinks fills.
