Discussion on: What does a dev's personal website need to include?

[Ben Halpern]

• It should load quickly. Render static from a CDN.
• It should get to the point. Describe your skills and interests.
• It should link to things you’ve written.
• It should link to your profiles: GitHub, DEV, etc.
• It shouldn’t be overly fancy, or generic. Make it unique but understated if possible. Going to flashy can really be a bad idea in web design.
• It probably shouldn’t look like this

Plot twist: your website was actually an example of what not to do all along.

[Jonathan Kuhl]

The fact that that website plays music when you scroll is the greatest and yet most terrible thing ever.

lool, it should definitely not look like that😄

[Matthew Cory]

That site is awesome.

HHAHAAHAH I was actually going to comment "nothing like Ben's, unless you're Ben" :D

The site is amazing and I added it to my favorite sites list

[Helen Anderson]

This is right on. ;)

[Dmitry Yakimenko]

Is http:// also part of the statement?

[Ben Halpern]

That’s a matter of having not updated this in years. I’ll get that updated soon, I swear!

[Dmitry Yakimenko]

I think in this particular case it works in your favor. Subtle and completes the picture =)

I just got a call from 1990; they want their website back...

Nice Rick and Morty reference?

[Ivo Limmen]

No, never watched Rick and Morty.

[Marvin Kirkland]

okay. One of the characters uses a similar line. I thought perhaps you were referencing the show

[Kristophe Sankar]

You're Tearing Me Apart, Lisa!

[Alex Antra]

This is a masterpiece
