Yes, yes, yes, it's always the same. Misrepresent well-cited arguments as rants, shoo people away with vague insinuations, and discredit the author from afar. All in the name of the "safety" and "diversity" of a narrow and pampered demographic. It's a tired old playbook. In the 3 years since I published it, the heads-on-pikes brigade hasn't slowed down, with Crockford being the latest target of a sanctioned witch hun…

Here's the deal: I disagree with this guy about a lot of things. I'm not going to address them one-by-one in a comment on a three year old piece. It's not my responsibility to write an essay about what precisely I think is wrong with a piece that I think demonstrates sexist attitudes every time I see one. There are a lot of them out there and they often repeat the same things. I used to spend a lot of time hunting do…

> So far he's represented himself as the kind of guy who interprets an implied disagreement and personal judgment as persecution. When I see that, I imagine someone who's going to interpret being disagreed with as being attacked in other situations.

Have you tried reading your own words back to yourself? It's terribly embarrassing.

Your website throw an error in ff: Polymer is not a function ;)

I'm not even sure if it's cross browser compatible. I literally threw it together in an hour using the assets I made for one of my side projects: https://overwebs.ruph.in I'm pretty sure that one works in Firefox and Chrome at least. It's also considerably more developed :)

Throws a lot of js errors in FF 49 on Fedora 24 as well.

Kinda interesting contrast when you link the website you admire along with your own website. The admired website worked great with or without noscript while yours didn't work at all.

Honestly, this guy is a genius. And people can't get over that their scroll wheel doesn't work on a website that hasn't been updated in half a decade.

In the context of a showcase website, first impressions matter. You want the work to be front and center. Not the fact that you can't design a usable website.

To a degree. Sometimes it's OK for the user to have to put a modicum of effort in, especially for something which is not a product or service.

It's also broken on mobile

First the master: http://worrydream.com/ Surprised nobody's posted it yet. Other people are also posting their own, so here's mine: http://www.dougkoellmer.com/ Other job-hunt-specific efforts: http://www.dougkoellmer.com/portfolio/ http://www.dougkoellmer.com/resume/ http://www.dougkoellmer.com/games/ Can't be totally sure but I believe they've gotten me a job or two.

How could you possibly list worrydream.com when it completely breaks the scroll wheel?

Because one issue does not negate an enormous treasure trove of content

Everyone is going nuts about the presentation/scrolling/UI of worrydream, but they are missing out on the goldmine of what he's actually been working on: http://worrydream.com/#!/Showreel2012 Its absolutely insane someone could be that productive in 2 years. A lot of the ideas in that showreel are incredible. Yeah many of them probably don't work, but I saw dozens of new interactions that don't exist anywhere else. P…

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

That's the point.

If a genius can't make a tricky personal website without breaking things, what chance do normal people have?

Just make a normal website.

Brett Victor is awesome. If you copy his website, you're learning exactly the wrong lessons from him.

It's not a demand for instant gratification so much as a demand for functional websites. The page was so weighed down by javascript bloat that it lagged on my phone when trying to scroll. I gave up in disgust and never made it to the allegedly-awesome showreel.

I'd certainly never hire that guy based on my first impression, which is that he doesn't value performant code.
