If you want to flex as a traditionalist, you might want to consider adopting the https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ aesthetic instead of the terminal one. The former remains browsable, whereas a terminal interface, however cute, creates enough UI friction to drive casual readers away.
Very nice, but if you want to use it professionally you should consider having an alternative "clear text" version for recruiters and the like. The technically minded will find it nice but most people won't know what to do or what any of this means. And you could consider adding `ls`, `cd` and `exit` just for fun -- it was the first thing I've tried.
E.g. there is **__contact__** in the page, bold and underlined, but you cannot click on it to do anything.

It’s fun to put together nonstandard interfaces. I had the idea of streaming in text like you were connected by an old modem to a remote system. Never experienced it myself, as I am not old enough, but I found the idea aesthetically pleasing.

Nowadays people would think your site is an LLM page, since ChatGPT implemented this and now every LLM apparently has to do the same...
As others mentioned, if you use this to attract clients or recruiters, I recommend adding a version for non-technical folks.
As a nerd I'd love to see some more colors like in the themes you can set using Prezto or Oh-My-ZSH (reference: https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto?tab=readme-ov-file#t...).
For the projects I think some click function to open an ncurses-like modal would be cool :)
Another idea: what about adding a light mode?
P.S.: I would also add `rm -rf` and return something like "nice try ^_^"
Every time you suggest commands (like "help"), let the user click them, and the UI responds as if they typed it and hit enter.
Every command that can be typed/clicked can be highlighted a green color or something.

+1 for ls and cd. I would also suggest numbered output for ls, so that the user can select using the numeric keypad. Or, up/down nav, TUI-style. I wish ecommerce sites could be more like this.
