Hello! I would appreciate any feedback for my new personal site. Specifically, I'm pleased with the concept and appearance on desktop/tablet, but I cannot think of how to make this design work well on mobile. Thank you!

The play on words in the name is used also used by a charity: Well Boring, who digs wells in rural Africa. The fact that we, as a species, have failed to deal with challenges like providing global simple access to water, make me think that a project like this is unrealistic in many ways.

Post-war London tried something similar, a futuristic vision of pedestrian walkways ("pedways") to separate people from the traffic. This failed, for various practical reasons, and you can see the remnants of the experiment throughout parts of London to this day.

This scheme would come at an unimaginable cost, surely changing planning laws to create less car-centric cities is a more realistic approach to the problem?

I made this since the concept had been kicking around in my head for ages. Obviously I don't condone this sort of thing.

The quote at the bottom is a bit tongue in cheek! I found it surprising how slowly money accrues even with very high salaries when you watch in real time. A watched pot I suppose...

Thanks for that... I'd even written a digitSuffix function but managed to forget "rd"!

Appreciate the feedback. I'd definitely like to work on the background. The wood texture is a bit of a cop out really.

To save HNers some time, I'd guess a lot of us will be in the 'software professional' occupation category.

I opted to put anything 'off the charts' as 100th - maybe I should make this clearer? Congratulations on the salary, though!
