I'm not sute if I'll get much sympathy but I would SO much rather get a synopsis with maybe a couple bullet points and some relevant pictures (or graphs!) than an article.
Let articles die. I just want to know what happened. I don't want to read the history or a flowery introduction. They just hide the point. This is why I believe reddit2 will use either an AI or the emergent intelligence of thousands of redditors to distill articles down to a short synopsis.
I do not think reading the whole article is a sign of intelligence. If I want to read something that's going to take 30-40 minutes it will be a lot more planned out than just stumbling upon an interesting headline.
I really think the article format has had its day but it will take a while for people to admit they don't like reading long flowery opinionated journal entries.
Yeah, do not do this. You'll end up with a $1000 bill from Amazon becuase you forgot to shut it down and discover very quickly they don't care at all once they already have your money.
Yes, you can set up a budget but it's only used for alerting. The services will happily keep running and building up to that 1k bill if you miss the alerts or don't react to them.
Wow, they really made it complex, didn't they? On one hand they advertise how anyone can spin up a VM and connect to it but you still need to do some serverless black magic to keep your budget in check. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely try that out.
It seems to follow their practice of building the “API first” solution. By the way, a lambda/programmatic solution allows you to disable lower priority resources and retain higher priority resources. It’s a lot of effort, but it’s incredibly flexible.
Yeah, that's not a terrible idea. But I work with tools that could, like, cut my thumbs off... I feel like this is still pretty nerfed up by comparison.
Setting up a CloudWatch alert to email you when the bill goes over $10 in 6 hours is a good measure (of course you probably won't get the alert for 24 hours because of Amazon's billing update delay).
It's simulations all the way down. What's at the very bottom? An entity hopelessly trying to escape the death of its own Universe. In fact, all of existence will end in .0000001 seconds but for us that's 100 billion years. But it will end (sorry superior God-like entity).
That sounds totally radical when you first hear it but it actually makes total sense to me. I guess they're just trying to avoid technological domination by Google. Right now they still have a player in the game thanks to Edge. If they were to lose that player Google would be able to make technological choices that might be harmful to Microsoft?
Obviously I have an actual resume. What did you think about the thing in general other than not being able to make out some of the words in the word cloud?
...also, based on your feedback I updated that image to make the smaller text bigger. I had noticed the same thing earlier but I didn't imagine it would bother my intended audience. Not saying that's you but at least I'm fixing the things people say they don't like.
I stopped reading after the second animation. It is too annoying as a resume for recruitment.
As indication of skill it isn't much better either for me. I would expect any software dev to gobble this together given the number of available html presentation tools. If you want to show what you can do I'd rather see a bunch of github projects really. With readme properly documenting what it does and if possible a live example running somewhere.
This little thing could be in there if you really like. I would expect the Readme to state why you made it and what problem it solved or what you learned from it.
There are four slides. It takes 10 seconds to look through the entire thing. If you can't make it past the second slide before writing a three paragraph critique you are 100% not in my target audience. Not that there is no validity in your opinion somewhere but I'm not sure if you understand the point of the thing.
I looked at your project with my work hat on, I replied to this thread with a three paragraph reply with my HN community hat on.
I clicked through once more for you to find your github in slide 4. My comment stays the same, there is nothing in there that helps me select you over people that present their content in an easier to consume format.
On the content. In some countries pictures must be able to blacked out by law (I don't agree, yet it is truth). Your experience bullets do not say what you actually did. Would add where your worked and some 1-2 lines description per bullet on what you made/did there. If you were freelancing add your clients. It helps us understand what size of companies/codebases you worked. What complexity etc. Your word cloud is indeed hard to decipher. Slide 4 I saw github, which is good.
The title says online resume. I assume the audience is recruitment. Recruiters take seconds to scan if they want to spend minutes. In addition most recruiters will not forward this to people like me to see if they like to invite. If that means we are not your audience your resume works. Be aware you are limiting your own options as you now no longer have the choice to say no yourself (we decided that for you).
I stay with my earlier comment. Best to reverse the whole thing. Send your "actual" resume as you called it and add your github repo there. We will find this here.
It's intentionally lightweight. I don't have a lot of public projects that I can link to. Plus it seems like the kind of thing where you shouldn't try too hard. So I left it at kind of the level we're pretty much anybody can do it.
The only types of jobs I'm looking for are part-time jobs and remote jobs. So that's my audience.
By the way if you looked at HANK and want to talk about that send me a message!
Anyways thank you for the critique. It'll be helpful to me.
