Maybe people just put time into their appearance? It's amazing how far a good diet, good sleep, exercise, and some grooming can go.

You start with that crap and, before you know it, you're doing flat-out irrational things like getting dressed and brushing your teeth . I shudder at the thought!

Hey, i put time into my appearance , i don't wanna sound out of the blue or get into stereotypes but maybe is because i am gay, don't know. Really, i have seem in so many conference attractive programmers like the ones in the photos.

I'm curious if the Carlos mentioned in the More Info page (www.blacktie.co/info/) is the same Carlos mentioned in the bio of the Small theme. If so, I think we've discovered the bald, beer drinking designer behind the stock photo model.

lol you mean this isn't the same guy? http://www.blacktie.co/2013/11/small-dribbble-portfolio-them...

He is not :(. http://www.blacktie.co/info/

Somewhat tangentially related, but it's been bugging me for a while -- is every brogrammer in America really this ridiculously attractive, or are hackers using model "stunt doubles"? One wouldn't expect GitHub to be full of gorgeous male models who happen to sit in perfect coffee shop lighting while laughing in an almost robotic perfection, but here we are ! (The stock photos on the site made me think of it, haha.)

Real hackers are fat, have Unix beards and drink Jolt Cola.

I think it's really weird that the example content is about design companies. Shouldn't those design their own homepages?

I've always thought that too. Either way, these themes look pretty good. I like Bootstrap themes for simple one-off projects or demos that I want to try. For anything serious I'll at least change the colors and modify things.

The responsive breakpoints are not really optimized on the themes I took a look at. Leaves a bunch of space on the margins, sometimes breaks way too early, images aren't responsive, etc.

I guess you can't complain when it's free though.

First thing I check when I read "Free" is I see what the license is (MIT/BSD). Unfortunately, you can't find out what license the theme uses until you get the actual theme. You don't get the actual theme until you put your email address in. I couldn't submit my email address until I subscribed to the newsletter (but upon trying it again in incognito I wasn't prompted to subscribe -- might have been an error on my par…

Am I the only one who never care about licenses? It says "free" so I download it. What is the worst thing that can happen?

No.

There are attractive (develoepers|journalists|best buy employees), and there are unattractive (develoepers|journalists|best buy employees).

I think it's mostly sterotypes and confirmation bias. The ugly people are less liekly to post photos of themselves online, so you only ever notice the attractive ones.

No license is bad. If code (or any other IP) has no license, it's fully protected by default and you can't use it safely.
