Are people really putting icons in their resumes?

You know how fast food places have photos on their menus and luxury restaurants' menus have like 40 words in total?

Same applies to entry-level resumes

I think people choose to eat at those places not for the menu.

If you don’t provide enough information in a resume, it is going to the bin.

Perhaps it's acceptable if you're applying for a UX designer position or similar. Otherwise (as an interviewer), the impression you give will be "all show and no go".

Maybe they want to obscure their resumes for LLM-based resume filtering.

>A dev-focused library of sleek, bubble-shaped skill icons built for GitHub READMEs

And curiously not one of them is used in the readme.

I thought this was going to be another geoguesser type game where you'd assign skills to certain icons :)

This is amazing! But one suggestion, add a vim icon for vim users since you have an apple notes icon.

I can analyse logs on notepad. Not the ++ imposter. Does that count?

(cries in enterprise customers who required me to RDS into a barebones Windows installation to troubleshoot. Of course any other software installation was also blocked by security policies)

There is vim in the light and the dark icons.

Aren't many of these icons copyrighted? IANAL... but can you re-create someone else's copyrighted logo and then apply MIT license?

In addition to being trademarked.

Am I supposed to read something into the choice that the examples for "light" and "dark" show icons for different entities? E.g Python is dark, Rust is light. (Kidding, but still - why not use the same base icons?)
tempodox
What do you mean? I found both Python and Rust in the light and the dark icons.
Reefersleep
In the readme, I only see four examples under each entry, and they are all dissimilar.
tempodox
The readme just shows some examples, it's not the complete repo.

I prefer the more simple monochromatic approach used by Simple Icons [1] but that can be too restrictive at times and many icons do not translate to that style. You can still use their brand guidelines and license metadata to avoid infringing copyright.
