Why LaTeX?

Why not! Using a declarative language like Latex for my resume allows me to comment out experience to tailor my CV. I also love the idea of using a declarative language for typesetting, where I don't have to fight with Word for alignment or spacing.

Here's a list of other reasons for using Latex:

  • Beautiful, the typesetting of Latex is unmatched
  • Don't need a specific version of Word to get my resume to look the way I want
  • Build it with CI!
  • The challenge is fun and rewarding
  • Can be versioned with Git
