Why is HN helping David out by giving him exposure? Is it because we feel that he truly deserves a shot? or is because we want to believe that non-intrusive self-promotion should be gratified? I'm giving him an upvote on account of a little bit of both.
My upvote because I really love the way he structured that application. It has a very good balance that is not over the top but on point. Especially the personal-quotes+pictures is a great recommendation-letter-replacement idea.
These kinds of self-indulgent sites make me so uncomfortable. I get that it's probably good to have one, but I don't know if I could actually make one for myself.
I upvoted because he did it and I like it.
lose the word "intern", it is sort of a big turn off.
Is this what Hacker News has become? A place to whore yourself and your business? Please don't encourage these kinds of posts.
