A student experimenting with using gifs for his portfolio pieces. I kinda dig it. What do you think? Yay or nay? https://johnpcorreia.com/

Interesting approach. I like gifs over e.g. a video embed. As total package: a) Hiring manager hat: would not feel the need to FizzBuzz this candidate b) Recruiter hat: would feel awkward about perceived professionalism if I were referring this candidate to many opportunities.

The reporting-not-endorsing version of things which would make it easy for a hiring manager to say No: * "software engineer hobbyist" * "building games with C# and unity or [anything]" not the best candidate when I care about a small subset of anything * "Product sense"

If (as if in a previous life) I were working with the candidate I'd probably do a copy pass, fix usage niggles like "please go to my Contact page" (hyperlinks + copy edits), and potentially reorder demo real to deemphasize salon web pages.

This is a product sense question, but product sense is "If you're ever explaining in words how to use your product you're probably missing an opportunity." The specific opportunity there is hyperlinking directly from copy: "I'm actively looking for opportunities; _get in touch_."
