Love this. My resume has been in LaTeX for over 20 years now.

Underappreciated IMHO. You can version control it, no dealing with wild Word shenanigans. Totally deterministic. Just find a style, insert your bullets and you have a nice sharable PDF.

Nowadays you can even have your preferred LLM do the conversion for you. LaTeX is finicky and I've had it fix warnings in mine that I couldn't be bothered to.

Good stuff, highly recommend a LaTeX resume, whether or not you drink coffee.

Any particular template you'd recommend? My resume is LaTeX too but I'm not 100% happy with it (about 98% happy and much happier than with anything else however).

Totally agree! I'm adding the coffee stains to my resume as we speak.
