The importance of having a personal domain name

I agree with the OP's point. If you work in tech then having your own domain tells me you understand at least a little of how the internet works.

I notice email domains on resumes. You get bonus points if you list an email from a custom domain on your resume.

I don't look kindly on developer resumes that have emails from aol.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com etc. The last one indicates that you probably don't care about security.

Isn't this prejudice?

I mean, you're not giving every developer a fair chance to show their true value. The e-mail provider has nothing to do with their technical skills. Or can you objectively demonstrate such causal relation or at least a statistically relevant correlation?

I don't use Yahoo and think it's a terrible e-mail service, but I wouldn't prejudge a candidate based solely on that.
