santifer/career-ops sits at 62,867 stars (MIT, JavaScript, created April 4), running entirely inside a local coding CLI to scan job portals, score listings against an A–F rubric mapped to 1.0–5.0, tailor CVs, and track applications. Tens of thousands of people cloned it for their own job hunt. Candidates are now automating the application side of a hiring market being automated on the screening side. I don't think that ends well for either party, but it's happening.
