Sneaking in at the buzzer to share this blurb that I've been working on to give folks some quick context on me as part of my job search It feels too long tbh, think I'm going to condense it down to some bullets and then attach a resume that has more info + links about each chapter Would love any feedback, thanks!

- user-obsessed and passionate in the same sentence feels heavy handed - “started my career at Suki” and “I hustled my way in” feel like two different companies, but only after completing the paragraph I realized it was the same; felt redundant - I think it’s okay to omit names of lesser known companies since they don’t add much context, and instead make it crystal clear what the company was building and what your contribution was - links to demos and articles of course are helpful but might be better served either as footnotes* or if the formatting allows, more subtle links. The sprinkles of Obsidian colored links break the natural flow of reading a bit - “recovering from burnout and contracting” reads like the same thought but I imagine you meant you recovered, then started contracting - would replace “frames” with mini apps since the former has no meaning to anyone who hasn’t been on Farcaster (most people) and even the link to Farcaster likely won’t provide that definition 1/2

- echoing other feedback from dawufi and others, the last paragraph has the best bang for buck and makes a good template for your previous experience - one way to restructure your paragraphs could be: brief intro, accomplishments, then conclude with the fit you’re looking for - a super simple one page website with this text as the primary content could be good to have open publicly, while flexing a little frontend muscle Overall your experience and skill set is rock solid, narrative just needs to be a little clearer, and wherever you land will be very lucky to have you. Good luck Zinger! 2/2

This is super helpful, thanks Steve! Agreed on more subtle links, this will mostly be shared via email so won’t have the Obsidian link UI Definitely feel like the last paragraph is strongest, still need to workshop the other two, I like that proposed structure Website is on the list (has been for a while 💀), wanted to start with writing just to get some momentum going Thanks again, really appreciate it 💜 5000 $DEGEN

Personal websites are always daunting because it’s a quite literal personal and public presentation of ourselves. How can we settle for less than perfect? What’s helped me is a having a dead simple idea, giving myself a firm time limit, then writing out the html/css on a text editor. I made sdv.wtf in less than an hour, and hire.stevedv.com in less than a full working day. Both have broken links today and could use some updating but I keep them up to serve as examples of what one can do under self imposed constraints!
