Probably a silly question, but what's the deal with this? Small Not a huge deal but I think it's good to show where a link goes on mouseover, especially a mailto: link (some mail clients take a while to start) ... it'd seem you want here.

Could be spam prevention?

If that were the aim, and he's content to rely on JS, why not set the href attribute at runtime?

In any case I'd think a small contact form a worthy investment, as I doubt he's charging pennies.

Maybe because of the fact that bots usually scan the href attribute, but not the onclick attribute?

I would think any self respecting bot would notice "Hey, there's a valid email address on the page source code :D".

I'm sure Jeremy can only do so much code reviews a day (unless he's a ninja robot), so why isn't there a crowd-sourced version of this? Sometimes I write code that I would like other coders to help/critique with. Github is great for collaborating and some code reviews happen (pull requests) but sometimes you're just working on a project and have no idea whether you're writing the right things or not. There have been…

How will this work with SE's infamous hatred of discussion threads? I'd imagine posts about code style would generate multiple "right" answers with lots of discussion to be had?

Could stand to benefit from having a domain specifically for the project.

I've not participated much in the new SE sites, but I feel they do not hate discussion threads as much as the original SE sites.

I wish there were a real example (to get a sense for the types of things he looks at), involving an open source project (how about coffeescript itself?)

Is it enough to say that his credentials are everything that he's ever written made available for public perusal? There's a lot to chose from. If I had a JavaScript/CoffeeScript/Backbone codebase that needed some love then I probably wouldn't hesitate to contact him based on the example set in his public code (and that he's the primary creator... but maybe that goes without saying).

Interesting. But how is this a sustainable business model?

I tried clicking and it did nothing. That's bad advertising.

Does a robot also need to be a ninja in order to process code quickly? Why so elitist?

Well, we all know that the best people at writing code happen to be ninjas (have you read any job descriptions or got any recruiter emails lately?), so I think this may perhaps be the reason. Still open to explanations of why ninjas have an enhanced coding ability though.

Do they? Seeing that you can't actually see ninjas, how can you see they have an enhanced coding ability? ;)

IMO this is more effort than its worth, and he will get annoyed with companies trying to hire him outright. You'd be surprised how hard it is for companies to change coding practices.
