Ask HN: What's the gist of Penelope Trunk for the ill informed?
Saw her mentioned on a thread here and didn't want to pollute the air with my ignorance. From my Wiki search I find this: "As a career adviser, Trunk realizes that a bio is not so much factual as aspirational." Is that a fair summary of her advice?

[ 1.8 ms ] story [ 31.5 ms ] threadI thought that was a funny enough juxtaposition to deserve a lighthearted response. (I also think the lmgtfy.com website animation is well done, and its tone a nice step up from the pioneer in that market, justfuckinggoogleit.com.)
Sorry you didn't appreciate it, Village. I bet Penelope Trunk would say: "Lighten up!"
That being said - i think large parts of her advice are worth considering at least.. not sure about them being iron-clad rules - but some of her work is worth a read.
