Your last sentence isn't necessary.

I changed it to something slightly less inflammatory.

The ego on HN gets me every time. I quite like his designs.

Good for you, and good for OP. I'm really not trying to denigrate anyone, but OP is complaining that he doesn't get interviews. If his reviewers think like I do, using spans correctly in his html, and "playing the game" (which is what others are suggesting) won't do him any good.

His design is excellent for a developer. But maybe a little TOO minimal for a product designer.

I disagree. Maybe you are right, maybe this isn't the reason he doesn't get interviews, but if someone sent me that portfolio, I would not give the application a second look.

Probably not, but I did think a conclusion was necessary.

Fair enough. I thought the point about the sites looking nearly identical was strong enough to end on.

Well, thanks for pointing it out. Either way; an insult wasn't a good way to end it.
