I disagree completely. I've worn several hats at every job I've worked at, each one demonstrating a different skill set. I will reword, change the order of, or even completely delete or swap out bullet points under jobs to highlight the skills that a particular req is looking for.

If you're "just another developer" applying to a "just a developer" req, then yes there's probably no reason to tweak. For anything else, you should absolutely be reconfiguring your resume to highlight your relevant skills.

Isn't that what a cover letter is for?
Cover letters are not really in style right now. But, even then, it still helps to align your resume to what you write in the cover letter. It wouldn't look good to talk about all this good stuff in the cover letter, and it has no visibility in your resume.
