http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=edw519 http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=edw519 is my alternate resume. I share it with all prospective customers and employers. This accomplishes several things: - It demonstrates my passion for programming, whether or not it's work related. - It gives them a chance to get to know me a little better through stuff that would never be found on a resume. - It shows that I'm not bashful when it comes to sharing what I've learned. - It (hopefully) demonstrates that I'm willing to listen and learn from others. - It (hopefully) demonstrates that I've accumulated at least a little wisdom over the years. - They may actually find a comment I've made about an issue near and dear to them. This may give me an extra boost. - It keeps me honest and encourages me to "play nice". I always have to consider what a prospective customer would think before I hit "add comment".
