Well the other positive about this resume other than it being fantastic is that you know for certain you don't want to work anywhere that passes on you because of your beautifully designed, creative resume.

I understand what you're getting at, but how exactly does the book make Romero look bad? Sure he certainly made more mistakes than Carmack, but does that make him look bad? At worst the book makes Romero look a little arrogant. But the

It has been reported in many places that Canadian authorities intercepted a package to him containing several fake IDs with his face on them and passed that along to US authorities. I imagine he was under serious scrutiny after that happene

The phrase "not a coder" at the end of the comment signals snark pretty heavily. Suggesting that someone who spent the last 180 days coding should not be a coder is a very rude and dismissive. The OP could have easily praised her

I disagree, if you read through the first paragraph in spite of the strikethrough text you see that the author is talking about user experience. Web designers constantly have to find non-verbal ways of communicating with users because on th

Thanks for this! You are a great writer, I read Coffeescript Ristretto and it was a big help. I appreciate the rigor you bring to technical writing. I actually bought Javascript Allonge after reading Coffeescript Ristretto but it's al

I believe generally if a medium exists to communicate with others creative people will try to maximize how they can succeed with that medium. The unfortunate part of this is Twitter is both very popular thus potentially a way to reach a ton

I'm relieved. It never occurred to me that horse_ebooks was a spam bot until I started reading other people stating with certainty that it is a spambot. It always struck me as a human posing as a spambot because it was too clever and p

I got a 3, with 0 being perfect. I'm a bit disappointed in myself I couldn't manage a perfect score. That said it is incredibly dull and frustrating at the end.

Well it certainly drives me nuts from the other side as well. Perhaps the best skill I walked away from liberal arts school with is to listen to a roomful of people over the course of 90 minutes, understand their individual arguments and fi

The problem with comparing the Thiel Fellowship recipients with Zuckerberg or even with YC & TechStars startups is that the fellows are selected for being talented and having ambitious ideas, whereas the startups that make it into accel

I agree wholeheartedly and I have contemplated writing a blog post similar to the OP. One thing I've noticed a lot of is developers (or managers who are ex-developers) who feel like being very nice 80% of the time makes up for their ho

Maybe we're reading that sentence differently? I read it as "the most widely distributed runtime that is also relatively advanced." I took it as a given that Tom Dale does not believe the web is the most advanced programming

I don't think it's disgusting at all, I've known many people (not just developers) who do "trial" interviews before they apply to their A-list companies. Interviewing is a skill and if you don't practice it you
