If the point of the site is to find clients/recruiters/etc.. then you should scrap this idea.

While technically this is somewhat impressive nobody who this site is aimed at will type commands to see your work/cv/etc.. They will just close the tab and move on.

I don't mind this but I wonder what it would take to make it so you could SSH to the same domain and make it somewhat interactive. Letting anyone connect with any username (and based on their username allow them to open files personalized to that) I often wonder the effort it would take to make custom shells for people to connect to without giving too much access to a server for personal reasons.

Sad but true. I spent some time building a personal site mostly for fun, but also to get back into industry. Many companies view a blog as a liability... better off studying for a few months to get some extra certifications.
