Show HN: Lovelace – Roast My Resume

I built this tool because I was tired of seeing the same tiresome resumes filled with corporate buzzwords and exaggerated achievements. As someone who&#x27;s reviewed countless job applications, I knew we needed something that could cut through the BS while actually helping people improve.<p>This isn&#x27;t your typical resume reviewer – it&#x27;s more like that brutally honest friend who roasts your LinkedIn profile at 2 AM but then helps you make it better. I trained it on thousands of real resumes, feedback from hiring managers, and a healthy dose of comedy writing to create something that&#x27;s both entertaining and genuinely useful.<p>The system analyzes everything from overused buzzwords to questionable achievements, delivering feedback with a healthy mix of snark and constructive criticism. It&#x27;s particularly good at identifying those cringe-worthy phrases we&#x27;re all guilty of using (&#x27;detail-oriented team player,&#x27; anyone?) and suggesting alternatives that won&#x27;t make hiring managers roll their eyes. While the tone is humorous, the underlying advice is solid – backed by real recruiting insights and years of resume screening experience.<p>Did I go overboard with the sass? Maybe. But after seeing the tenth &#x27;dynamic self-starter&#x27; in one day, I figured we could all use a laugh while fixing our resumes.
