The user experience is excellent.

Can you point to a specific problem?

I guess they did not mean the linked site itself, but most of the linked sites. They seem to be personal sites of individual people (developers, bloggers), and typically contain few paragraphs of unstyled text (Black font on white background) and few links. Which might be perfectly fine for such pages, but you can't build, for example, your company website this way. Even putting your company logo in decent resolution would push you over the limit :)

Not wishing to disagree with the rest of your comment, but I expect many company logos can fit within the limit and look good when represented in compressed SVG (.svgz). Those can also be inlined on a home page to reduce initial view latency.

So, specifically what's wrong? It looks no-nonsense and to-the-point.

Were you unable to find the information you wanted?

Was the site confusing?

Or it was just aesthetically unpleasant?

Titles would have improved the U.X at no cost. A mailto link might have as well, personally I don't like them but a lot of people find them useful. Also styling for the resume would have improved the reading ease.

It's not just a matter of aesthetic, it's a matter of visual parsing.

In the pic the text is slightly cut off, looks like i zoomed a few pixels by accident. Still, a touch of padding would improve it imo :)
