Wow thats a lot of opinions and assumptions.

The CV did it's job it got me interviews and a job I love, hence why I am sharing it. As the article suggests the post is for bootcamp grads. And many of us struggle with how to show the career change in the CV, how to make a monumental decision to start over visually make sense. Because my previous experience is relevant to tech and startups I chose to have it on the first page and my dev projects on the second. My peers without relevant experience tend to have their bootcamp and projects on the first page.

Most bootcamp grads are well over 25 so we had careers where we were in leadership positions and now we want to be developers so we start from the beginning as juniors. I love to code, I enjoy it a lot more than being a founder (been there done that), do not judge people for making life choices different to yours.
