I'm not sure I agree. I would have before looking at the resume, but I think it's actually kind of clever and resonated with me as a critique against the silliness of buzzwords, while still delivering very useful info (length of experience in specific technologies).
Overall it's loaded with personality, and OP sounds like a fun person to know.
That said, when hiring for a serious role (which most are) it would make a me a little bit nervous. I'd interview them though, which is arguably the whole point of the resume. It would definitely stand out and get my attention.
The people complaining about it are just biased. It's typical. Your outlook is atypical.
The reality is everyone is quirky and the only difference is most of this is hidden and covered up with lies and omissions.
Definitely this resume shows he's a bit less self aware and less aware about how other people think. But for a programming job, it's not a red flag.
People who call this stuff red flags don't realize the amount of shit people actually hide. The majority of people have 10x more shit worse than this completely hidden from the resume. This stuff is actually tame. People call it out because it's deviant.
The more serious shit like stole money from my employer or slacked off at work, all of that flies through the filters because nobody puts that shit on their resume and hiring managers are red flagging superficial shit like quirkiness and awkwardness. It shows how biased people actually are. They don't even know how to judge character themselves, they just rely on stereotypes of "professionalism" Just remember the truth about "professionalism"... it's just a way someone appears... It's not an intrinsic part of a human being.
In actuality the quirkiness of his resume shows he's a little bit more honest. He won't stab your ass in the back as he's open about other things people hide.
Actually... the other way to think about it is that hiring managers and coworkers only want to work with people who put up a façade. Nobody wants to deal with the true reality of how people actually are and if someone can't present a good facade he's not a good hire. But either way I would say the chances that this guy stabs you in the back in a really serious way are much lower than someone with a "professional" resume.
I'll be honest, I won't hire this guy based off of the same biases. But I admit my biases and I'm self aware. We don't actually have any real data on whether a person with this type of resume is more likely of ending up being a problem. Everyone just helplessly follows their gut and biases.
Just to be clear, you're okay with someone bringing up their dead mom in a "Bugs and Features" list, referencing eating Tide pods and sticking forks in sockets and drinking chemicals under the sink, and even things like this:
Heh, I missed the mom reference, but the forks in socket, chemicals under the sink (which they did NOT drink) and tide pod (which they did NOT try) comment was funny and endearing.
It certainly is unusual, and probably inappropriate in a resume, but I've always felt the strict conventional rules for resumes stifle a lot of creativity and strip people of their personality and uniqueness. It probably would get them rejected from most companies, but I think it would also help them get noticed by other companies. They only need to get through to one!
