Developers, what’s your preferred tool for writing your CVs? Google Docs, LaTeX, or something else? #buildinpublic

I use Google Docs. As much as I want to use LaTeX, my willingness to fight with it is very, very limited. Ditto for my willingness to spend a lot of time really fine-tuning.

Thank you! 100% agree on the LaTeX annoyances. Is there anything that you miss from your Google Docs workflow or are you happy with what you have?

I don’t redo my CV often enough to have meaningful gripes. I occasionally wish it were easier to keep formatting consistent (or to change formatting or experiment with formatting), but not enough to actually invest effort into making it easier.
