If the point of the site is to find clients/recruiters/etc.. then you should scrap this idea.

While technically this is somewhat impressive nobody who this site is aimed at will type commands to see your work/cv/etc.. They will just close the tab and move on.

I disagree. There are too many negative comments in this thread. This is an awesome site that will resonate well with clients and recruiters. It has exactly what they looking for and yet presented in such a refreshing way. It show cases your creativity, ambition and dedication to do something like this. Great job!

I started making my personal site as terminal just like this one and eventually scrapped the idea because it's a terrible experience on mobile, but also it's just gimmicky on desktop and will only be mildly interesting to other devs.

Sad but true. I spent some time building a personal site mostly for fun, but also to get back into industry. Many companies view a blog as a liability... better off studying for a few months to get some extra certifications.

What do you mean by they view a blog as a liability?

I think it depends. If you're blogging about technology findings it's fine. If you're blogging about how much you hate <insert politician here>, then yeah companies may see it as a liability.

I'm interested in hearing his reasoning, too. Maybe said companies don't want people posting about what they're doing at work or don't want a PR nightmare if the employee says the wrong thing
