    I’m surprised this is still getting responses.
    Fair jab, but I was obviously the computing term, implying “…from source code”.

      Yeah, even in that sense… the irony

      Ok I’ll stop being a prick 😂 if you haven’t used Latex before, you do write source code that gets compiled into PDF/PPT/whatever
