I hope my backend self never needs to make a snappy looking pretty something. If I am ever judged by the quality of my visual design skills, I’ll be executed for crimes against eyeballs.

I just run a script that auto-generates a pdf via html from an edited markdown file. The css just defines the font and a few spacing parameters. It takes all the headache out of trying to format everything nicely in Word, and any fanciness will look dated real soon.

For my CV, I just use a PDF of my LinkedIn Profile. Seems to work well enough. Maybe a bit long, but the page space is used inefficiently, so I blame big fonts and large sidebars.
