Writing my resume in LaTex just so I can list it as a skill on my resume.

@vintprox With an infinite sum

@12bitfloat Writing a PhD thesis in it is a pretty good learning experience!

@Jilano then they must suck ass. We don't know no doc, there is *.pdf to rule them all.

That's kinda recursive.

You are one step away from achieving the philosophy holy grail – and idea that’s its own medium

@Jilano honestly, if a company asks me for a word document for the application, I'll look elsewhere

Thought about that, too. After some research I came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the effort. A Word document is still the faster way to go, if you're not deep into LaTeX. Also never really came across LaTeX outside uni.

@cb219 LaTeX is a fresh air for everybody who deals with formula-heavy documents. Yeah, starting with Word is probably faster - to make intensive formatting, but equation editor always takes time to load there. Also maintaining document in such unreliable format is going to be a pain, if you wanna leave your device and try on another, for example.
Luckily, there is intuitive and user-friendly WYSIWYG LaTeX editor in 2020: TeXmacs.
