I was skeptical of this when they first launched the earlier versions, but I actually quite like the way they've done it in the final version.

My favorite resume of all time is Matt Hall's stratigraphic column resume: https://static.squarespace.com/static/549dcda5e4b0a47d0ae1db... (His blog post about it is here: http://www.agilegeoscience.com/blog/2010/12/17/resume-20.htm...)

I'm a geologist, so I'm rather fond of the puns, etc that he's made here, but the point is that a straigraphic column is a great way to lay out a resume. It gives a vertical visual depiction of what the person has been doing from most recent to longest ago.

That's exactly what the developer story is. I really like that they've used that visual layout. It's a very effective way to convey activities and employment history.
