Are you honestly slagging a guy off for talking about himself on his resume???

I mean yeah, we computer folk are supposed to be all self deprecating and all. But if there is one place we should stop mumbling and talking ourselves down for a second, that is it.

At some point if you want people to know what you do, you're going to have to tell them.

I found his approach tacky, loud and insincere.

Of course you should be talking about yourself on your resume but a couple of this that are different here:

- Wtf is up with music - 51%/49% thing. - Publicly asking to be hired that reflects poorly on his current job at Google. - Excessively loud self marketing

why not have a simple site with your accomplishments? Why all the excess bullshit?

I think that's definitely a cultural thing. It would be in poor taste in my country, but seems very American.

And many of the things he did do sound like he could be a good contributor - I guess you can't know about his personality without an interview.

I sorta draw the line at autoplaying music. Apart from that, he's done a good job. How many of us are bold enough to put long list of glowing reviews on our resume?
