Do what makes you feel important. Can't stress that enough.

[Dreamwork @dreamworkhq]

If the job search has felt impossible for the past year, you were not imagining it.

The Atlantic says employers averaged just 10,000 new jobs a month in 2025. This year, that number is 114,000.

The market is finally thawing.

Keep going.

[Dreamwork @dreamworkhq]

40% of all U.S. layoffs in May 2026 were blamed on AI — a record, and the third straight month AI ranked as the #1 cited reason.

We tracked 343,819 active job listings to see what AI is actually doing to the labor market.

wish i had this when i was looking for jobs...

[Dreamwork @dreamworkhq]

Indeed just told everyone why their matches feel terrible.

Visibility now goes to whoever pays. You're not the customer. You're the traffic being sold to employers.

They don't profit when you land your dream job. They profit by pushing one million people to the same promoted job.

Dreamwork works the other way around. Best matches first, always. Zero promoted jobs. Only your best shot at success and free to use.

90k views in 48 hours on a reddit post

Hundreds of users signed up and submitting their resumes

All on a revenge job search app built out of spite

(and arguably more useful than @indeed ngl)

[Colin Johnson @colindotj]

Okay here’s a fun one.

My pregnant wife got laid off by Indeed back in December.

So (out of spite), I spent a few months building @dreamworkhq on the side: a job search platform for tech workers that does the right AI stuff at the right time, and doesn’t butcher your chances.

I posted the vengeance story on Reddit and it got 90,000 views in 48 hours.

The biggest feedback was simple: people are hurting, and paid job search tools are hard to justify right now.

So I made the standard plan free.

Side project built out of spite. Now we’re going to have our team actually focus on it.

Strange times.

Thrilled to have @JackDishman and the team joining Farcaster!

[Matthew Morek @matthewmorek]

after a wild 20-month ride at @PonderOnBase with @cojo_eth, @benadamsky and @etashio, it’s time to start a new chapter

currently exploring frontend/design engineering opportunities, so if you’ve got something open along those lines, hmu!

reposts and intros = 💪

[Ben Adamsky @benadamsky]

@JackDishman Clank clank 🙏

[🌷🐰 sonya serendipitously 🐇🎀 @sonyasupposedly]

love that @PonderOnBase is celebrating basic bitch season 💅

Predict with Ponder 💭

There are few communities as strong as those on Farcaster 💪🏼

What’s your favorite Farcaster project?

Give @PonderOnBase a follow

[Ben Adamsky @benadamsky]

@connorking Check out @PonderOnBase 💭

[Melanin💭💜 @0xmelanin]

Big wins have been dropping back to back on Ponder 🔥

💭A clean 13x
💭And a monster 23x

The people who trusted their read are eating good on ponder

If you’re still watching from the sidelines, you’re missing out.

Join @PonderOnBase, join @farcaster_xyz, make predictions, climb leaderboards, and catch the next big win.🔥

[Melanin💭💜 @0xmelanin]

Since prediction markets are trending again thanks to @sportfun, let’s talk about @PonderOnBase in football terms

The mini app on @farcaster_xyz is the stadium. That’s where the matches (polls/ponders) are played.

Each Ponder poll is a fixture, two (or more) sides clashing on a question.

Your wallet? That’s your ticket to the game. No ticket, no entry.

Voting is how you take your shot on goal, you back a side and hope it scores.

Leaderboard points = your season stats.

Sponsored votes = a free penalty kick gifted by the house.

“Free to Ponder” mode = training camp, where you practice without risking anything.

At the end, those who predict right don’t just celebrate the win… they also take home the rewards.

🧵 Thread: Discovering Ponder – The Addictive Mini App Taking Farcaster by Storm!

If you're on Farcaster and haven't tried Ponder yet, you're missing out on one of the most engaging mini apps in the ecosystem. It's a daily game that tests your social intuition – predict what

I've been growing @BrackyHQ for 6+ months with the idea that everyone can own the sports network of the future.

But it's been too complicated for even my own dad to buy... Until today.

Bringing project coins to the Coinbase App is one more step toward turning 500M+ crypto holders into 1B+ crytpo users.

Let's freaking go.

[Ben Adamsky @benadamsky]

@tldr_x @BrackyHQ I will also be going all in on the knicks this year once again, rain or shine

[Ben Adamsky @benadamsky]

@dr_mahmoodi7731 @PonderOnBase @base Should be resolved now + funds sent out

[Social Graph Ventures @socialgraphvc]

At SGV, we’re watching prediction markets mature from experiments to real businesses.

The frontier of event-driven finance is here, and new models are emerging fast.
