This is a neat idea. Now throw it through emscripten for a live demo ;)
Edit: rather, put a vm (qemu?) through emscripten and load your os on that

Re: My resume in an Operating system
#22Assuming that employers are going to stumble upon the HTML version of your resume, I would cut out this line from the top: > Hates design & frontend. There's only so much above-the-fold space on a webpage (especially on mobile) and it's not worth devoting such valuable real-estate telling people how much you hate anything , nevermind two important skillsets. Also, your design sense seems to be fine, and you obviously…
Probably an even bigger problem is that this resume is now going to come up every time a recruiter searches for "design & frontend".
(This might not be a problem in France. Here in the San Francisco area in the U.S. it seems common for recruiters to blindly contact the first 200 developers whose resumes contain relevant keywords.)

#23Very cool. I've toyed in the past with the idea of making a bootable CD that launches a minimal Linux desktop with a PDF reader and a copy of my resume, but this is one better.

#24I'll share this here since I have something similar/relevant.
My resume is a Go package:
https://github.com/shurcooL/resume
People can leave "reactions" (like on Slack) in my skills section, as my tongue-in-cheek play on LinkedIn's endorsements. It renders the HTML entirely on the frontend (try viewing source at view-source:dmitri.shuralyov.com/resume).
As the README says, it's not to be taken too seriously.

#25Very nice, although I want to point out that this page contains many typos - you probably want to run a spell and grammar checker over your blog posts and your resume as many employers may screen due to these.

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's called Licence professionnelle in Ingénierie des Systèmes Embarqués in French. It's sort of a vocational education degree but delivered by a university and on a highly technical subject (supposedly, not meant as an offense). Edit: Licence is an intermediary level between bachelor and master/doctor.
Isn't Licence just like a B.S? (3 years of University).
Apologies, I was mistakenly thinking a Licence Pro was prepared in 2 years but you are right and it's 3.

I took it as satire. Guaranteed somebody could find a way to disqualify an applicant for this. Here are some hiring manager thought bubbles: * "Oh boy, this takes me back to installing Slackware from floppies. So I guess you're more of a backend/systems guy? This is a full stack position. Are you sure you want to work on the frontend?" * "Amateur hour. Copied somebody else's bootloader. We really would like to see mo…
* Couldn't hold down a job because he spent too much time working on personal projects.
* And his Github commit calendar isn't lit up like a Christmas Tree.
Re: My resume in an Operating system
#30Nice. I am a little confuse on the different types of education you haven taken. What is a professional degree?
If I remember correctly, it's a sort of co-op degree in France where you spend part of your time in an educational facility, and some time in a company. The ones I've seen last about a year if I'm not mistaken. There's a bit of a naming confusion going on. First, the title Engineer. In France, many universities propose the title "Ingénieur" (Engineer), but not all have the seal of the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieu…
Thanks for the information. My initial thought was that a professional degree is a somethng similar to being a chartered accountant, or be admitted to a bar (legal industry). In Australia, the Institute Engineers of Australia had a program of certifying engineers and they become a chartered engineer. Not sure if they are still running it.
They approached me when I graduated many years ago. I don't remember the exact details but I seem to remember that they were catering for engineers doing civil engineering. ie to build bridges that won't fall down when a truck goes across it.
