I ended up writing a browser plugin to autofill a lot of fields in job applications. It’s extremely inelegant, just a bunch of hackey jquery stuff to automatically set fields, a few conditionals for slightly less obvious stuff, and that’s pretty much it.
I have thought about trying extend this to something like Selenium and applying to literally every software job on LinkedIn and Indeed automatically, but I can’t imagine that would actually turn out well for me.
I hate this grind. It’s exhausting, more so knowing that most of the jobs I am applying to are probably fake postings to help companies pretend they are growing to get more investor money.

I guess time is wasteable for us peons.
