Last time I was on the job market, I wrote a little CLI tool that given data in yaml format, spits out a pixel perfect pdf resume. It took me 2 hours and about 200 combined lines of Python, HTML and CSS.

While I wish the author the best of luck, I’m not sure resume builders for developers are a hot market.

There are qualitative differences in resumes. If they can sell theirs as giving you higher chances of success, that's worth something.
I’ve been involved in hiring since my very first dev job - not sure I’d trust a random resume builder more than my experience sifting through 100s of them. But I guess there may be some small market here.
