Not a window-like lamp, but bright LED lights are offered by many higher-end manufacturers such as Delta Light https://www.deltalight.com/en including light-temperature configurable ones such this one: https://www.deltalight.com/en/products/detail/supernova-line...

However, 10klux seems a bit too much, given the energy needed to drive the lamps and overall lamp brightness. Too much light can also have negative effects on the eye and moreover, you would just be unable to read your screen well at 10klux.

Nice overview. One small nitpick: `right of=<label>` is deprecated, instead you should use `right=0cm of <label>` (after loading the `positioning` library), which is more flexible. If you don't want to specify the distance, there is also `right=of <label>`. See 17.5.3 in the manual.

Sigh, the default storage option is still 64GB...

At the moment the code is pretty ugly and there's a bit of personal information (e.g. phone number) I don't want to post online. I might write a blog post on creating a custom CV, but that's for some time in the future ;) (not really sure when)

I think this need not be the case. When creating this, I wanted it to look good and the way I wanted it. Not make it scream "LaTeX".

For a CV, Computer Modern might be more apt since there's also more text on it. But again, why make it scream LaTeX if one can do it more subtle and make it more personal at the same time?

Do note that I have a LaTeX PDF style CV as well, but it's not linked in the article (nor available online).

Indeed, lots of people I know (mainly computer science, electrical engineering and physics) still heavily rely on it for long documents and papers.

I think it's not perfect, but for many academic purposes, LaTeX is still the best tool in my opinion. It's definitely not perfect, but there's a lot of historical weight and quirks, but the results look great if a little effort is spent. :)
