Unimpressive portfolio. All too common of an attitude in both creative and engineering oriented industries. The greatest things are built through collaboration, and the most brilliant people are generally the most humble — their work speaks for themselves. The markup isn't great at all, and the overall usability and typography choices suck. Get over yourself, millennial.

Fully agreed that the greatest things are built through collaboration. What if the customer didn't want that tricked out design you made? Are they going to get made fun of for having a simple website that people can understand and use with ease? Probably not. The designer and customer need to work TOGETHER to get something great. The designer doesn't know the ins and outs and the passion behind the business, the customer does. Work together and get something that looks pimp but is still in line with what the customer wants.

Definitely agree with you about the usability, the giant header cut right at the bottom of my 1600x900 screen, I had to look at the source of the page before I realized I was supposed to scroll down to see more.

I lol'd, he wrote it drunk after all. This is how all developers feel on the inside about their work. And I think it works great for showing that he isn't a boring neckbeard behind the computer. Down with corporations! and stuff...

I'm not sure about you but I definitely don't show my humble side when I'm drunk. In all seriousness though, I appreciate his attempt to be avant-garde. If it backfires, we know why. If it gets him a few jobs, we know why.

> and the most brilliant people are generally the most humble So he’s not one of the most brilliant; he’s just good. You can also be humble and rubbish.
