Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

It's 2026, it's been decades since there last was any good reason to use ASCII, you can just write LaΤέΧ now if you want to.

a) Alberat, like most of us lazy people, did not fo that. b) There are a lot of archived online discussions about this in which ASCII was assumed, so when we do start doing that we will omit those resources.
