I think it depends on in which country and at what company you are applying for a job.
I do not see any sense in a cover letter and was way to lazy to write a single one when I was looking for a job a year ago as a frontend developer. I applied only with my CV for jobs found with Linkedin "Easy Apply", OR I still applied even if the company was asking for a cover letter in the job description.
Either way almost every application led to an interview, therefore I think cover letter is not worth it and the CV is where you should focus.
I wrote an article back than on how to create a strong CV (for juniors with no work experience), but maybe it can still help you as well.
