Yeah I feel it’s indeed easier to have an okay statement with LLM draft, but its emphases are almost always off…

Thanks, Chenhao! It's my pleasure helping with streamlining things in the backend - quite some pain but also fun :-)))

I use local complication w/ VSCode latex workshop plugin + git for version control.
Pros: better hierarchical organization & doesn’t require internet.
Cons: sometimes need to resolve conflict (usually fine if commit frequently) & require a powerful laptop to match overleaf compilation speed.

Also happy to chat if you are interested in grad school and academic job opportunities in Waterloo and Canada, quite a sane place to live in and work for.
