I think this site would be perfect if you toned down the existential dreariness and replaced it with small sprinkles of humor, but mix in some more technical stuff (what are your benefits).
Being able to endlessly think about life and death isnt a benefit for someone who wants to hire you, and you won't get extra points for being "deep".
If that is who you are, you can leave a tiny single sprinkle of it in there somewhere, but make sure you also cover a lot of other areas too.
Very nice creative idea, to set yourself apart. That's always what I look for
- growt 7y agoI couldn't have said it better or nicer. Also the todo list example looks a lot like that, an example that could be simply git cloned. If the web/ CSS stuff is original you have more to show!
- gen_greyface 7y agoI'll add the GitHub links to the respective pages, thanks for bringing attention to that.
- Exuma 7y agoIt appears this section might be incomplete: Branch Prediction pipeline flush, predict taken, predict not taken, branch delay slots
- gen_greyface 7y agoWut
- Exuma 7y agoUgh sorry, I thought this was another one of my comments
- quickthrower2 7y agoI’d go further: While the philosophy stuff is fun to read, I’d probably remove it all and focus on why someone would want to hire you. In contrast the CV on your site does this quite well. If you must do philosophy, keep it on a blog part of the site. Maybe start a Paul Graham style essay section.
