Friend: what are you up to?
Me: updating resume
Friend: what is that?
Me: what is what?
Friend: it doesn’t look like you are using MS Word. It seems alien to me.
Me: it is in LaTeX. It is a software system for typesetting documents
Friend: 😱

Me: Turns on markdown render
Sister: 😮 show me how to do that! What is that!?
Me: Markdown, its a markup language.
Sister: eyes glaze over never mind, not worth it.
@nixCraft ahhh yeah! My resume has been in TeX since college. I am writing cover letters in @typst now though. I might make the switch for the resume at some point.
Really like where @typst is heading and the audacity it took to get where it is. 🙏🏻
