A comment on I think developer portfolios lack text.

I've had a website which hosts my projects (since just after the dawn of the web), it has always been a portfolio (aren't all personal sites?) but implicitly. All of that time I've made a point of never saying anything about myself. First because I don't think anyone would really be interested, secondly because it's none of their business, but mainly because I think the work should speak for itself. So plenty of text, but text which describes the work in question.

Just my take on the portfolio website: sometimes less is more. You want to know more about me? Invite me to an interview :-)

My philosophy is that I want to be upfront with who I am so the person who hires gets to know me a little bit. And I definetly think it is their business. Personality plays a huge role in whether you are a good or a bad fit for the job.
