People are too uptight. I would never want to work for the person that would say those things anyway. Even if he did only work 3 months last year. He's obviously not poor (all those books aren't cheap), and he's happy, so more power to him!

Welcome to reality.

You can talk all day about the way things *should* work, or about the way you *want* things to work, but the cold hard facts of life are that people will make assumptions about you by looking at your web site.

""descrimination based on personal web content" " - Yeah...you do that..Please, let me go with you when you present the case to a lawyer. I want to record that little exchange for America's Funniest Videos.

The guy is obviously a bright, talented developer. He also frequently comes across as a boor. Which is fine of course, but he should fully expect that some companies will see this and and choose not use him.

At 28 years old, it's time that he learn the difference between a professional and personal life. Wanna post shots of your girlfriend's butt? Wanna have a lengthy discourse on topics that some people find offensive? Then go post it on your personal web site. And *MOST* importantly, don't give that personal website as a reference when you are looking for clients.

Amen to that! I read Casey's site daily. He's got some awesome stuff he's done in his articles. He's funny and he shares my view that you don't have to be 5'3" weigh 125lbs soaking wet and wear horned rim glasses to be an intelligent developer. So he posts pics of TS's butt on his site?!? It's his site, it's his girlfriend and she doesn't seem to mind or she'd let him have it in the comments for sure. I definitely thought the car show girl was hotter than the booth babes though. I'd like to b!tch slap that HR person who wrote that e-mail, "descrimination based on personal web content", now there is a humdinger of a law suit waiting to happen. Plus he's got it in writing. Actually b!tch slapping them raw would be more satisfying than a law suit but either way would make me happy. Here's an Amen from one more developer who thinks Casey rocks!
