Aug 2, 2018 at 21:56 comment added Kevin @poke By cv I mean the pdf, so if you go to either of those two pages and press the print button, I see I haven't been very clear about that in the question, sorry. The version I mean can be compared here
Aug 2, 2018 at 21:51 comment added poke Sorry, but I really have no idea which versions you actually refer to. Can you maybe post some screenshots? This link (open in a private tab) looks pretty bad to me, while this link looks okay. But the https://stackoverflow.com/cv/your-public-name should look much better. And there’s definitely more formatting than “plain text” on that.

Aug 2, 2018 at 21:46 comment added Kevin @poke I like this method because it incorporates my SO profile. As for the style, I prefer the one where the document is divided into sections by blue lines and every section has a blue title to the left of it. It's much clearer what everything is, it makes scanning the document a matter of seconds, which is what I look for in cvs and I assume most people do. The plain text one is not clear at all, it's all the same font and font size, it doesn't have titles and the spacing is awful. It's impossible to find the info you seek at a glance if you don't know the layout beforehand.
Aug 2, 2018 at 21:35 comment added poke My guess: PDF generation is somewhat expensive, so you should probably download it and host it somewhere else. Btw., I do not understand why you say that the story or CV links are “ugly plain text versions”. Those look much better than the generated PDF for me. (And btw. 2, if I open the View=Pdf link for your CV, then I get an ugly/broken plain text view).
