latex3 VS Awesome-CV

I never got deep into TeX, but I browsed the code at one time and some of what I found seemed utterly insane to me. For example, it includes an IEEE floating point implementation, based entirely on TeX string expansion [1]. I don't know if it is widely used, but I'm not surprised by slow LaTeX compiles anymore.

You say "TeX is already heavily optimized", but that's only true for the layout engine. The input language is entirely based on macros and string expansion. That's fine if you're only going to use it for a bit of text substitution. But as a programming language it's inherently slow. (To be fair, I believe Knuth expected that large extensions, such as LaTeX, would be implemented in WEB.)

I am in the process of rewriting my CV using the [awesome-cv](https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV) template and am pretty happy with how things are turning out.

Delete your résumé and fill in something like: https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV

You’ll probably need to get a temporary job. I suggest a union job like warehouse worker so you can get benefits.

Don’t let your pride get in the way of contracting.

Looks like it was made using Awesome CV https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV.

Try some more fancy templates and add a custom colour theme to stand out more: https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV

Awesome CV

Thanks! It's actually a LaTeX template (https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV). I thought the three red letters was kind of odd but if I remove it or change it to only the first letter etc it looks kind of weird so I decided to keep it for a splash of color. I was thinking about finding another template but all the other ones look too generic, and being simple can be good, but I think this strikes a nice balance between functionally simple and aesthetically pleasing.

I'm a big fan of the Awesome-CV LaTeX template

I write my own CVs in LaTeX using awesome-cv (https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV), just keep each section brief with some achievements/what cool stuff you've worked on.
