Out of curiosity, what do you focus on instead? I've found resumes in general to be a poor way to judge developers quickly. I tend to read the cover letter, jump to their Github or Stack Overflow (if listed on it or the resume), then go to the resume last if I still need more context.

I find the resume to be enough to decide whether to phone screen or not. When I do bother reading the cover letter, the vast majority sound basically the same anyway; there's not a lot of extra information there.
