This is a great idea
- DaSHacka 1y ago100%, I'd love to see the template if GP ever makes a blog post about it
- qartis 1y agoI’m not GP but I also ported my resume from latex to groff a few years ago for fun: https://github.com/qartis/groff_resume/ https://github.com/qartis/groff_resume/ I’m not experienced with groff so the code isn’t great but I was quite happy with the typesetting (and the compile times!)
- Rendello 1y agoI'll see if I can find it. I checked archive.org but it didn't save a copy (it saved the PDF version though, apparently that was good enough to save). It wasn't the craziest resume I did. I applied for a company that made this UI tool for enterprises. It was a half-WHSIWYG, half-Lua tool. I downloaded the demo and spent a week building my resume as a UI, then sent it to the team. I got an interview with the top level guys and a team of programmers, and they excitedly asked me questions about how I made it and how I figured out certain features (like this image passthrough functionality that "none of their clients could figure out"). It was all very exciting but I wasn't ultimately hired (they were being acquired at the time, perhaps that had something to do with it). I have the video on the UI and the making of it, perhaps I'll post it one day once I anonymize the company's name in the video.
