 npx jobless
 ```
 
-A terminal resume for a broken job market. LinkedIn is a content farm with a jobs tab. Applications take 30 minutes. The no takes 400ms. Recruiters book the call so they have something to cancel. I still do not know their coffee, their mug, or their star sign.
+First it rejects **you**. Then it introduces an engineer.
 
-## The market
+`jobless` is a reverse ATS. The market has been parsing humans in 400ms. This package parses you, then parses the job post, then shows [Yonas Alem](https://yonasalem.vercel.app) — senior software engineer, remote, production systems.
 
-### I do not know their coffee, their mug, or their stars
+## The trap
 
-The job posting said TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and "excellent communication." The actual exam is telepathy. What is on the recruiter's mind at 10:02am. Oat milk or "just black, I ship." What color is the mug. Company merch that says world-class talent, or the chipped navy one from a 2019 conference that still has a lipstick ghost. What is their star sign. A Virgo who will reject you for a missing Oxford comma. A Gemini who double-booked you with someone named also-Yonas. A Scorpio who already decided during the handshake.
+You run the command. It pretends to be Greenhouse. It reads a couple of harmless local hints (git name, email, laptop user). It writes a rejection letter addressed to you.
 
-I can trace a silent cron death across 17 processes. I cannot see into their mug. Apparently that was the seniority gap. Next round I will bring a natal chart, a color swatch, and a cortado. Or we could talk about the actual system.
+Then it breaks character:
 
-### I applied for 30 minutes. The bot needed 400ms
-
-The modern application is unpaid data entry with extra steps. Upload the PDF. Then type the PDF into twelve boxes the parser already filled wrong. Then salary in USD, GBP, and emotional damage. Then a culture quiz written by someone who has never been in the culture. Then "why this company?" as if Greenhouse is going to light a candle and read it.
-
-Submit. Rejected in 400ms. Sometimes the no arrives before the confirmation. Five years in production, $100K pulled out of infra, payment rails that moved billions — filtered out because I did not write "synergy" enough times. Cool product. Would not ship it.
-
-### They booked the call so they had something to cancel
-
-Favorite genre of fiction: the recruiter calendar invite. "Loved your profile. Thursday 10am?" I clear the morning. I make tea. I put on a shirt with buttons. 9:58am: "we've decided to move forward with other candidates." Which other candidates. The ones you have not scheduled yet?
+```
+that was not a company.
+that was the market, in your own terminal.
 
-If ghosting is the process, skip the theater. I debug silent failures for a living. Yours is not that silent.
+anyway. here is an engineer who debugs silent production failures.
+```
 
-### LinkedIn: 40% more thought leadership, 0% more jobs
+Then: 17 cron jobs that died after every deploy. $100K off infra. 3B+ ETB in payment rails. Press `h` to hire.
 
-LinkedIn used to be a jobs board that accidentally had a feed. Now it is a feed that accidentally has jobs. Everyone is humbled. Everyone is announcing. Everyone is a thought leader on a Tuesday. The algorithm loves a carousel called "10 habits of senior engineers" from someone who has never been on-call. It does not love the person who actually kept production up.
+Skip the theater with `npx jobless --resume`.
 
-I did not open this app to like your new chapter. I opened it because I can build the thing you are posting about.
+## Lint the posting, not the human
 
 ```bash
-npx jobless rant
+npx jobless lint posting.txt
+pbpaste | npx jobless lint
 ```
 
-## Yonas Alem
+Or run `npx jobless` and press `l`.
 
-Senior Software Engineer in Addis Ababa. Open to remote senior roles.
+```
+error  salary described as competitive, with no number
+       no-fake-salary

+warn   "fast-paced" / "wear many hats"
+       means-understaffed
+
+REJECTED   2 errors  1 warning
+reason     failed the human compiler
+```
+
+Same idea as ESLint. The file is a job description. The company has to pass.
