> The question I'm asking myself is. Why should I read your CV when you didn't bother skimming through my landing page, docs, or open source repository.
This can easily be turned around: why should an applicant spend time looking at the landing page or docs, when in all likelihood her application will not be read, and will be filtered out by an HR person who doesn't understand the work and whose only job is to reject the maximum amount of incoming people so that the pipe doesn't get clogged?
It'd be ineffective for someone looking for a job to spend any significant amount of time on any given job ad.
Job hunting is like dating. It's a numbers game.
And it doesn't rely on anyone's true qualities, but on how the other party perceives those qualities. You have to make the other party desire you, either because they want to be with you, or because they convince themselves that you will make them look good.
