reddit today linked to the resume of a certain noah stokes, whose boasting also heaps praise on expression engine and codeigniter:

:“Expression Engine - If I really told you about how this worked, you’d crap your pants and your tiny mind would explode. Poof.
CodeIgniter - Two letters for you: M to the V to the, crap, 3 letters, C”

Obviously his copywriting skills are somewhat incendiary in nature, and he’s fully lacking in design skills, and to top it off, the guy’s code doesn’t validate, either.

Hubris, man. Hubris.

I couldn’t find his CSS link (my eyes began to hurt after four seconds), but loved this bit in the head:

<!—Look, I know this code is hawt.  And you want to steal it all.  But let me tell you a secret.  I stole this code from someone else.  So it’s not me who you’ll be hurting, but some poor sap who is now not only getting code stolen by me, but now by you.  Shameless.—>

Funny.

It seems to me like that’s the point.  Inside jokes for web developers, I guess.  Judging from his blog, I’d say he a capable web pro (assuming it’s all legit, which I think it is).

Yeah, the chuckle value is high. That’s about it. Clients with real money to spend, in general, won’t spend it there.
