Show HN: My Github résumé
- richo 14y agoAwesome work. I've been wishing something like this existed for a while now.
- Kudos 14y agoIt's existed for 2 years and has been frontpaged here at least once before. https://github.com/resume/resume.github.com/commit/47aba3b380459c07967b4f38c9e77fbe42be07a6 https://github.com/resume/resume.github.com/commit/47aba3b38...
- alpb 14y agoI agree. I have no idea how this made it to the front page. Such duplicate links are recently increased. This should have been posted before, I'm pretty sure.
- Swizec 14y agoLove the idea! Usually when I send my "resume" to people it's just a short email with a link to github and my blog. This does in fact look much better than a vanilla github profile. Better to navigate. But it does feel a bit strange to read text written in the first person about me ... that I didn't write. Although I guess resumes are supposed to be in first person. EDIT: there's a bug, going to this url http://resume.github.com/?swizec&utm_source=buffer&buffer_share=91541 http://resume.github.com/?swizec&utm_source=buffer&b... ... breaks things
- alexchamberlain 14y agoSubmit an issue to https://github.com/resume/resume.github.com/issues https://github.com/resume/resume.github.com/issues.
- longjohnbenton 14y agoI've got my website linked, but who the fuck said that I blog on it?
- craigc 14y agoI noticed this as well!
- nhebb 14y agoThe html [1] does. If you don't like the wording, you can fork it and change the text. https://github.com/resume/resume.github.com/blob/master/views/resume.html https://github.com/resume/resume.github.com/blob/master/view...
- crasshopper 14y agoSomebody made something for you for free. No need to get nasty. You can just fork it if you dislike the wording.
- bochi 14y agoIt would be nice if the resume included popular projects the user has contributed to.
- AncientPC 14y agoAgreed. I've submitted lots of pull requests and taken over a small, popular project but none of it shows up.
- MusicOS 14y agoMy work is on my personal non-networked operating system, LoseThos. It has per-file compression, so most files are stored compressed. The source code is not ASCII and it only compiles with my own C-ish compiler. I have no use for github. I am more likely to hire than be hired, though. I wrote 135,000 lines of code over the past 9 years, including a kernel, 64-bit compiler, graphics library, boot loaders, device drivers, editor, tools like grep, etc., and 150 demo programs. 9 years is a very long time. EDIT: I'm being downvoted. The Internet is a reeducation camp. Picard, there are 4 lights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_eSwq1ewsU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_eSwq1ewsU This is just brainwashing. You have to believe in God to be hired. I'm looking for partners, I suppose. Useless in a reeducation camp, though. I'm sick of hearing 20-year-old linux zealots saying how useful github is for hiring. This is off-topic, but I cracked-up laughing on a radio phone-in show where a woman said how glad she was not having an abortion because her downs (or something) child was such a joy. She, then, proceeded to tell all the stuff she had to do for it.
- Kudos 14y agoI'm surprised you managed to squeeze something relevant to the topic in your bragging.
- longjohnbenton 14y agoYou are the crazy hobo of HN. Why are your videos called "Songs by God and Me"? Why do you screenshots just show crazy screens full of text rather than displaying actual features?
- Kudos 14y agoBecause he's schizophrenic. He's spoken about it before.
- longjohnbenton 14y agoHe should be fucking locked up then.
- saidinesh5 14y agoHahah, Nice work! i honestly thought it was something like https://github.com/saidinesh5/MyResume https://github.com/saidinesh5/MyResume ... (hint: the commit messages are more important than the commit diffs :P ) .. i have been quite lazy to update it and correct some design flaws though..
- spacemanaki 14y agoThat's a nice idea, but I'm a bit skeptical of your specific implementation. Would you really want to be so honest on your resume as to admit that you added Java to it after cramming for a job interview for 2 days? https://github.com/saidinesh5/MyResume/commit/22e6aca7711491b39102a539bfe9b96223f3db6c https://github.com/saidinesh5/MyResume/commit/22e6aca7711491... Sorry to pick on you, but it was just the first commit message I read, and it stood out as a particularly bad resume bullet point.
- saidinesh5 14y agohaha I am actually glad that you caught one of the design flaw i was talking about...the story for adding Java to my technical skills, is actually in another commit ... In this particular case, I added Java to my Resume not because I know it well enough...but because I was actually able to build an Android app in 7 days, Java starting at level 0, in a week.. an App good enough for me to clear the interview :) https://github.com/saidinesh5/MyResume/commit/c6a0b75c24e8401078a7db619369bd3a277f45ac https://github.com/saidinesh5/MyResume/commit/c6a0b75c24e840... And ya, Now there are many more things I would want to delete from this Resume than I want to add to it .. for eg. like all of the silly projects I have done while in college... both the Java and the .Net stuff ..and what not :)
- kristianc 14y agoDitto with this blog post - http://saidinesh5.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/4-weeks-of-unemployement/ http://saidinesh5.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/4-weeks-of-unempl...
- smcl 14y ago"I'm a developer with public repository. I've been using github.com since NaN." I think it should read "I'm a developer with a public repository" and the NaN thing is a bit odd. (I was just curious what my resume would look like as I don't use github much)
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- jayesh_sidhwani 14y agoWhat if you could also include some work from the users SO profile?
- FuzzyDunlop 14y agoCould submit a pull request. Then you can have My Github Resumé on your resumé.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- anaheim 14y agoanyone who uses phrases like "popularity heuristic that defines the popularity of a repository by its sum of watchers and forks" instead of a simple "orders by no. of watchers + no. of works" is likely _very_ pretentious. Take with a spoonful of salt.
- perlgeek 14y agoThis is very nice, but it has the same flaw that most of the github résumé generators have: it only lists my own projects, not those from other people or organizations to which I (heavily) contribute, so it doesn't show the repos that get two thirds of all of my patches. Does the github API not allow to query all the public repos to which I have commit access?
- veyron 14y agoYou can't see all repos for which you have commit access. (e.g. if you are in an organization, you have to query the organization to get the fact that you are a contributor) Go to https://api.github.com/users/your_user_here/repos https://api.github.com/users/your_user_here/repos to see what repos are accessible. NOW: it is possible to iterate through all of the repos in Github and build it up, but that's far too much legwork and would need to be run continually.
- greggman 14y agonor does it show all the work done off github. Work at code.google.com or sourceforge.net or the myriad of other places someone might be doing great work. For example http://www.ohloh.net/ http://www.ohloh.net/ let's you add any public repo.
- davedx 14y agoYes, I wish people would stop assuming github is the only place people contribute to open source. Even more annoying for me: I contributed a lot to a project that was on Google Code and is now on Github, so now there's no easy way to find my contributions :/
- caseyohara 14y agoAlternatively, an additional section could be "These are the projects I've been working on recently", an aggregate of recent activity. (Commits, pull requests & comments from https://api.github.com/users/your_user_here/events. https://api.github.com/users/your_user_here/events.) As resumes go, I think what someone is currently or recently working on is especially interesting because you can tell what they are excited about at the moment.
- ecesena 14y agoNice work! In some résumé, the organisation section is continuously loading (maybe a bug when it's empty?)
- klrr 14y agoWow, really nice, thanks for sharing!
- reledi 14y agoI have something similar, though it's more like a GitHub portfolio than a resume: https://github.com/dideler/projects https://github.com/dideler/projects You can view it in action: http://dennisideler.com/projects http://dennisideler.com/projects
- achristoffersen 14y agoLooks really nice. Would be nice if the language % also included closed projects. (and bitbucket always gets to little love :-))
- georgeg 14y agoI love it! Was just trying to create a resume and you just bailed me!
- beezee 14y agojust filed an issue - but the error message is pretty obnoxious for a catch all- bound to the $(window) error event is a catch all error that blames me for not having enough data (56 public repos not enough?) This means that anyone who knows this url and decides to look me up will see a message accusing me of being a non-producer if anything goes wrong with the resume
- wldlyinaccurate 14y agoLike other people here, I have also created a resume that uses the Github API. It's nothing special, just an example of how easy it is to make something like this. https://github.com/wildlyinaccurate/resume https://github.com/wildlyinaccurate/resume
- StavrosK 14y agoIt's weird how it looks very similar to mine: http://resume.korokithakis.net/ http://resume.korokithakis.net/ We probably both stole the theme from the same place and I can't remember.
- Kudos 14y agoYour "My Startups" section should be renamed "My Projects" or something else.
- StavrosK 14y agoI agree with that.
- nickknw 14y agoLooks like Matt Brown's resume template: http://thingsthatarebrown.com/blog/2009/05/sample-resume-template/ http://thingsthatarebrown.com/blog/2009/05/sample-resume-tem...
- crasshopper 14y agoMatt Brown is a good guy.
- prezjordan 14y agoVery nice, I was thinking of this in the shower (of course) today. Is there any way to see my contributions to other projects? This is honestly a feature I would pay for.
- justinhj 14y agoThis is a nice tool but I don't get the obsession with github. Surely resumes should be about what you worked on and how it went rather than where you host it? People use other public repositories a lot, like Google Code. In addition many really good programmers may not be able or willing to work on open source code. I do like the Stack Overflow careers profile though, which allows you to add links to open source work on a few services. Though I get the irony that that site is heavily biased towards people that are active on Stack Overflow.
- nj 14y agoI would love it if people started including an "apply with Github" link on their job sites where they usually have an "apply with LinkedIn" link now.
- kvnn 14y agoI'm seeing "member since NaN" and "created NaN" on iPad. Cool stuff :D
- marcamillion 14y agoIs the link broken for anyone else? It just goes to resume.github.com
- rumblestrut 14y agoI've been working on putting my _actual_ resume on Github using Markdown (when finished, I'll have a HTML version up using Markdown and Strapdown.js, too). https://github.com/rumblestrut/ejg-resume https://github.com/rumblestrut/ejg-resume I've neglected my resume for a long time and recently felt the need to update it. After considering different options, I thought "Why not just put this thing on Github?" Ultimately, I just wanted something that would withstand the test of multiple document formats over time, and a text file was the best thing I could think of. So yes, quite literally, Github is my resume.
- scott_s 14y agoThis is a portfolio, not a resume.
- alexholehouse 14y agoMatt Brown's resume template[1] really gets around (which is no bad thing, I use it myself[2]). I hope he realizes how widely it's used. 1 - [http://resume.github.com/css/resume.css http://resume.github.com/css/resume.css] 2 - [http://www.holehouse.org/CV.html http://www.holehouse.org/CV.html]
- aantix 14y agoI believe the resume building site Jobspice ( http://www.jobspice.com http://www.jobspice.com ) has a similar template.
- noirman 14y agoBrilliant. It's the best resume generator based on GitHub I've seen so far.
- BobPalmer 14y agoWeird... every sample link flashes the resume then shows 'ut oh :(' in IE9 and IE10... Odd, since I'm not seeing anything on this that would explain this technical limitation.
- crasshopper 14y agoVery nice! Thank you!
- fshen 14y agovery nice, Thanks. I love it.
- Afal 14y agoThis reminds me of something I made for my github page (made long before github pages had an Automatic Page Generator). You can fork it and change the name of the repo to <your username>.github.com to make your own personalised github page quickly. https://github.com/dafrancis/dafrancis.github.com https://github.com/dafrancis/dafrancis.github.com
- leppie 14y agoCute, but why does it not say I use Scheme???
- kushalashok 14y agoIt has a nice look and feel.
