"description": "I build and maintain career-ops, the open-source job search agent that runs on the user's own machine. I spent sixteen years running a device repair business in Seville before software took over my life; I built career-ops for my own job search, then open-sourced it under MIT when I no longer needed it. Five months after launch it has 72,400+ stars, 409 contributors and a community of 4,800+ people (counted 22 Sep 2026). Funding is held by the project's fiscal host, Open Source Collective, on a public ledger, and goes to maintenance, security, releases, documentation and independence. The project needs it more now than before: it agreed its first corporate sponsorship in 2026, while adoption has grown far faster than its funding. Almost all of the project's 1,610 merged pull requests were reviewed and merged by one person (counted 22 Sep 2026).",

"description": "Open-source AI job search agent: scans job portals, evaluates listings into a structured report with a human-in-the-loop scoring rubric, tailors CVs and tracks applications. Runs locally in the user's AI coding CLI with their own API key: the user's CV goes from their machine to the AI provider they chose, and nowhere else. Permanently free and MIT-licensed. 72,400+ GitHub stars, 13,600+ forks, 409 contributors with 1,610 merged pull requests, and 4,800+ community members; ~9,700 npm installs in the last month (npm package launched June 2026); new contributors joined at 19, 77, 97 and 101 per month from May through August (all counted 22 Sep 2026). In a domain dominated by proprietary, server-side products, career-ops is the open alternative: anyone can run, audit or self-host it, and the user's data goes only to the AI provider they chose.",
