Some of the samples are compelling and beautiful. I'm annoyed they are not clickable. But the rest is kind of "meh". Like I've never heard a talented, intelligent professional whine before about this type thing. My advice: Put some of that intelligence towards learning how to better market yourself or some such so you make better money and have less to kvetch about.
I hope someone creates another site from the perspective of the engineer who has to implement his outlandish designs. The first sentence: "If it were as simple to do on a website as it is in Photoshop, I would have done it". Followed by: "I'm paying you so do what the fuck I want."
The only "engineers" that complain about implementing "outlandish" designs are ones who don't understand HTML/CSS/JS as much as they say they do. Literally anything is possible on the Web.
That guy sure is cocky, considering his profile consists of run of the mill/average website designs. Half of his portfolio looks like it could be from templatemonster.
I like how he presented himself and the website coding. There are two points, though:
1. Don't use images for Text. He can use cuffon or font-face
2. I need to click the thumb. Since the page doesn't showcase any particular design and coding skills then I need to check the websites he made.
Why the site is good, in my opinion? Because it's unique. Good designers now focus on clean and well designed portfolios with JavaScript effects and little text and information. This is something unique and original. It's different. If I want to hire the guy, then I'll check his portfolio (that's why I need to click the thumbs) and decide.

I'd hire that guy.

He made the front page of Hacker News, didn't he?
The markup isn't great at all, and the overall usability and typography choices suck. Get over yourself, millennial.
