I've been in the unfortunate situation of sifting through those resumes before. That 10 second look isn't for me to determine whether or not you're in the interview category, it's literally "person has applied for programming job, have they degree/experience/projects" or do they just want a job and have no relevant experience.

Terrifyingly when I was doing this that filtered out about 75% of the candidates (applying for senior/lead roles with only office admin experience was _really_ common). Once you get past that point you're probably going to get 5 minutes to see what's what.
