It's fun but terribly difficult to read and understand. I hope he provides the "traditional" version as well for the people who just want the information and not the whole shabang.



What do you not know about him after running through this "course" that would change your mind about his skills?


It's hard to maintain a version of what he did with the distraction. A recruiter would have to put 3x more time into this. Scroll, stop, take time to read the font and try to make sense of the table.

That's a lot of mental activity. Whereas a quick traditional resume gives information in text and is easier to spot. Then if recruiter wants to see the profilo, say his github personal page, sure, a link.


It's lovely and refreshing, but I agree. You can't run the course in 7 seconds, so there is no way to quickly get a picture about you and whether you fit into the position the recruiter tries to fill. I would just add an overview at the beginning of the course, or a link to your LinkedIn (or similar) profile.
