Single line CV

Rejects verbose resumes for a single punchy line

single line CV: Creator of mordorjs and TifY, also a pipeline-operator fanatic. 🇭🇺

Somewhere along the way, I got tired of constantly producing CVs, and I don’t really want to tire anyone else by making them dive into a verbose one-page CV explaining what tech stacks I’ve encountered over the past 57 years. With more than 40 years of work experience, it’s easy to see that such a list would actually say very little about me.

Besides, one line of text can be sent anywhere. This line is actually a Markdown line — not by accident; here on dev.to I’ve grown quite fond of Markdown. But I think the line should work even without the attached links. At least it tells you that I’ve built not one but two things, and that I also have some kind of area of interest.

I’m not saying this method would work for everyone, or even that it would work for me if I had to look for a new job. But if I ever find myself in that situation, I’ll write a post about that too.

The next line is much more cryptic, and I don’t really want to go into the details here, but I feel it’s important to have it written down exactly like this. And yes, the parentheses really are meant to be that way. This is the message of my second planned book; the subject of my first planned book can, of course, be found in the first line. The only question is how many years it will take me to actually write these books.

*mental map:* 1John1 + 5John17 |> 1Moses1 = (1Moses2 ... 4.22John21);
alpha & omega = !![];

So the first line follows the KISS idea, but the second one definitely doesn’t, because of how cryptic it is.

Github Profile as CV

I can’t leave out these posts that pushed me a little further down this slope — meaning the idea that it might actually be worth using a GitHub profile for self-promotion. Thanks!

These posts made me think that it would be worth putting my dev.to articles on my GitHub profile — but not simply in chronological order. I wanted to show the relationships between the articles, and between the articles and their related repositories.

The first version is still pretty rough. I let GPT-6 loose on it and asked it to build this atlas, which you can find at github.com/Pengeszikra if you scroll down below the image.

I don’t want to make this any longer than necessary. Eventually, this could become an AI-based presentation site that dynamically introduces my articles from different perspectives over time, because I think the connections between the articles and the repositories are worth exploring from more than one angle.

So, apparently, I’m now working on an AI CV.
