    1. Site wasn’t properly reflexive for mobile
    2. If this is a portfolio then i would remove a lot of stuff like “watch list” and “current obsession”. The focus should be on your work and future projects
    3. Notes are ok for a start but can be improved. I think a “posts” or “blog” would be better section title, and the content should try to teach something you’ve learned rather than be the notes you took for a subject. The difference is that teaching reinforces your understanding of the topic. So pick something smaller from those topics and teach it. I wouldn’t redo your current notes necessarily, but going forward i would pick a more focused topic and teach.
    4. i would then move the “blog” or “posts” to your front page to show the most recent content and then link to /posts where the rest of it can be found. Or highlight projects on front page instead depending on what you want focus to be.
    5. move your front page content to a more “resume” section that includes a section for the tools you know. And still think about the length/space of this page. Like a printed resume, too long is bad. So make sure it outlines things nicely

    Overall if it was just a personal site id say its ok. But as a portfolio site you have some work to make it align with your goals. Good luck!





  • I assume Yale isn’t broke but idk. Universities are just like any other business where they will cut products that aren’t making money or performing as well as others. The article talks about the course needing many teacher assistants to field student questions and hold labs, and that originally these costs were covered by a donation which has now run out.

    It also could just be some internal politics and blaming it on financials is the public reason.

    But you’re not wrong that student tuition costs should theoretically go to the courses they sign up for
