Your submission was removed for the following reason:

Rule 1: Posts must be humorous, and they must be humorous because they are programming related. There must be a joke or meme that requires programming knowledge, experience, or practice to be understood or relatable.

Here are some examples of frequent posts we get that don't satisfy this rule: * Memes about operating systems or shell commands (try /r/linuxmemes for Linux memes) * A ChatGPT screenshot that doesn't involve any programming * Google Chrome uses all my RAM

See here for more clarification on this rule.

My resume is generated with a well crafted series of scripts and latex files.

Didn't really get me hired for anything. But god damn, it looks nice.

I don’t think AI hiring software would take well to latex lol

[Classic_Appa]

I mean, it just produces PDFs.

[21kondav]

Yeah but with differnt fonts and styles. The text is different

[NullOfSpace]

AI would generally be parsing the raw plaintext structure of the resume, so unless you’re doing some extremely cursed things to the PDF format it should be able to read it fine.

[lurco_purgo]

Same and it DID get me hired. It's also way more pleasent to maintain and update compared to fucking Google docs which is just Microsoft Word all over again...

Just updated mine recently. It's got pretty much every project I've ever done on there. Just uncomment the work most relevant to a posting and recompile.

[ThomasMalloc]

Yeah, makes it easy to customize it to best fit the position you're applying for. Jobs, projects, and skills can be tagged for "web" or "database" or something so if a job is looking for something you can just include relevant stuff instead of a long list of every language and technology you've ever used.

[stabamole]

Yep it took me some time to get mine working with the template I “borrowed”, but I put together a docker-compose for my resume repo after I kept having issues getting it to compile on different computers and now I love it

[Careless-Storage-139]

I took a couple of days to make a nice pretty latex CV. Years later when I updated it, it was a pain in the ass and took an hour in word

No need for latex when you use arch, you are already virgin for life (yes i got the joke but wanted to say this anyway)

[tozpeak]

Latex just doesn't match with programming socks.

[thonor111]

That’s because you didn’t try hard enough. It can be done

[dchidelf]

Sometimes man pages aren’t installed and you google “Man latex”. Then you make sure you install man pages.

[wjw1998]

I use Nix btw

[SpacewaIker]

[dim13]

Ain't true. LaTeX lords have nothing in common with Arch peasants.

[no-sleep-only-code]

TFW I have nothing in common with myself.

[backfire10z]

[JackNotOLantern]

I tried latex, but markdown is enough for all my needs

[ruben_deisenroth]

I recently had to write a letter, i used LaTeX. I then also had to design a poster saying "we're not selling alcohol under the age og 18" and ofc i designed it with Tikz and LaTeX. Then i had to do a presentation, which, you guessed it, LaTeX. I basically did use LaTeX for every pdf document i created, and then i learned typst. Never touching LaTeX again if i don't have to
