Totally irrelevant to the topic at hand, but that first link really is grim reading - a complicated topic treated in a dismissive tone, chock-full of jargon, and probably leaving the average reader feeling slightly abused.
- Kudos 11y agoNot really, it demonstrates that displaying random snippets of code as some kind of portfolio is maybe not a great idea. I didn't think I needed to spell it out.
- bshimmin 11y agoI wasn't criticising you for sharing that link - just that the content of the link itself was, really, not the best (no doubt written with good intentions, though, I'm sure). I also think snippets of code are somewhat worthless, unless perhaps they're clever solutions to specific problems that really can be expressed in a dozen LoC. My GitHub gists, for example, are for the most part useless to anyone other than myself, and I wouldn't ever really think to share them as any kind of insight into my work.
