"If you are looking for that one trick that lets you get ahead and jumpstart your career, my advice to you is: Don’t choose the path of least resistance. When training a muscle, you only get stronger with resistance. The same is true for learning any new skill. It is when you struggle with a specific problem or concept that you tend to remember."

Pretty nice description.

Actually I am planning to integrate AI to generate this kind of YAML first and then convert it to PDF.

The idea:

1. apply strict schema validation to YAML so AI won't generate wrong/invalid data 2. write prompt to AI help people generate a sample YAMLResume 3. adopt AI to parse existing PDF or images and convert it to YAMLResume format

If you do not insist on org-mode, then maybe you can try to organize your CV in YAML format with a tool called YAMLResume: https://yamlresume.dev, which transforms a resume in YAML to LaTeX and generate PDF.

I know groff, at least the bible K&R C programming book is published by groff, if I am not wrong.

For me, I think groff/LaTeX/SILE/typst all belongs to same category, i.e, the author write some markup language, then processed by some processors, then get an output. I chose LaTeX and Typst as the classic ones in my post:

- LaTeX is the classic, old school typesetting engine - Typst, clearly more modern, with many advanced design like incremental compilation, wasm and web app, instant preview, better error message.

For others, groff/SILE, to be honest I don't have time to dive into each of these.

Do you see any advantages of groff over LaTeX?

Thanks for pointing this out.

Yes you are right, I am not a linguist so I have little knowledge for "Indo" languages.

Originally I adopted the word of "Germanic languages" then I found Spanish is not a Germanic language hence I then adopted "Indo European" language.

This needs a fix for sure.

PPResume is a LaTeX based resume builder that helps people create beautifully typeset resumes in minutes.

It supports: - real time input validation - rich set of input controls - structural editing - customizable layout.

This site was released for just about one week, and yes, we know there're still many many problems, we will fix that as soon as possible.

haha, yep, this example shows the power of Semantic-UI, I was attracted by this---I was really amazed by the power of Semantic-UI.

Besides, I don't like github's black navbar.

Hi, guys,

We have spent hundreds of hours build a new website with Semantic-UI for Semantic-UI: http://semantic-ui-forest.com/.

Semantic-UI is my favourite front-end CSS website, I have built several websites with Semantic-UI, and I love it, feel delightful when developing with Semantic-UI.

But compared with Bootstrap, the ecosystem of Semantic-UI is small, so we have semantic-ui-forest for you: http://semantic-ui-forest.com/posts/2017-04-05-introducing-s... .

In this website, we have ported 16 themes from bootswatch(bootstrap) to Semantic-UI (http://semantic-ui-forest.com/themes), and also, we have ported 18 official bootstrap examples (https://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#examples) and reimplemented in Semantic-UI (http://semantic-ui-forest.com/templates/).

Not advertising, however, we think this maybe helpful for people who are interested in Semantic-UI and want to give it a try.
