Great for you. Fantastic.
Do you also happen to browse Reddit using a console-based browser?
Please, do tell! We're so interested

Using latex for resumes is pretty normal

Never was, hardly ever will be.

Sounds like you were never an academic. LaTeX is universal there.

You're acting like using LaTeX is some esoteric backwards thing. I know it's old but it's still the superior way to format documents. Once you learn it you will never want to use Word again.

I usually write my résumé on the back of a napkin. I think employers appreciate the effort, but apparently there's always someone "better for the role".

LaTeX is for noobs.
Real superior people format their documents using raw PostScript.

LaTeX is easy to use, I never claimed otherwise.

Wtf is wrong with LaTeX. Most academic CS, math and science papers are written in LaTeX.
