This is hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if Instagram hired this guy just for publicity because of the attention on here.

#152Here's a question. Why isn't every resume a website? This is the era of about.me, flavors.me, and filing your resume online.
The www allows for image, audio, code, and video, as well as text. Why are resumes still pretending to be paper (pdf / doc)?

#153Don't want to sound rude, but the lens ("I made this") has pretty bad type work. Kerning is off, the curve is not right ( http://i.imgur.com/tpDqv.png ). The drop shadow is also strange. Overall, there's not enough attention to detail.
Now you've made me curious: what's wrong with the curve? And couldn't the font accurately represent Leica's actual font?
Here’s an image of the actual lens, from the same angle: http://a.img-dpreview.com/news/0602/panasonic/leica14-50mm-0...
If you look at the copy, the label text is set around a much wider circle than it should be. Also, the characters are relatively larger, a lot wider, with smaller letter spacing, than the original.

And my question would be, why did it get to the top of Hacker News? I tried making a website like this and failed to get much notice.
Because as many here would probably not like to accept, HNers are just as prone to social engineering as the guy on Facebook who signs up for the app that can supposedly revert his Facebook page back to the old design. HN can be gamed quite easily, for this and other reasons. Since you're near the top of this thread, which itself is sitting at the top of the HN front page, why not link to your site here? I wouldn't m…
"HN can be gamed quite easily" is precisely what Zed proved yesterday with programming mofo.

#156Haters gonna hate. Give her a break. The site's not half bad and at least she tried.

...why on earth would you do that? This person wants to work at instagram, if she gets the job, she'll be absolutely floored about coming in to work every day. This is exactly the type of employee I would think everybody would want. Why would you want something else?
It's also a bit like blackmailing, in my opinion.
What's like blackmailing?

I would never want to work with someone as negative as you.
Some people don't enjoy working in pseudo-positive and falsely encouraging environments that give second-rate work an undeserved pass. There's something motivating about standards and demands .
The problem is too many people, much like about half the people commenting here, confuse that with being an insufferable prick.

#159I built a site like this once for a company I wanted to work for very badly. I didn't get the job, but I did at least get a response from them, which is very unusual.

Get the app "Cinch" from the app store if you're on OSX, and especially if you're on a big monitor. It's frankly better than a maximize button, as it also lets you do side-by-side half screen windows. (I am not associated with this app, just a happy customer.)
Personally I like SizeUp better. Keyboard controls for multiple positions and layout combos, moves windows across spaces and monitors too. It even has border control. One of the first, most useful apps I found when I made the switch to my imac. Both can be gotten through Irradiated Software ( http://irradiatedsoftware.com/ ). Free demo. I'm just a happy customer too.
I personally use BetterTouchTool (http://www.boastr.de/). It has basically the same functionality as Cinch and then some (maximize, auto-resize to split views, move windows across spaces/monitors), but it's (a) free and (b) also lets you define custom touch gestures to activate them (and any other actions you want) with a MacBook trackpad / Magic Mouse / Magic Trackpad.
