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.
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.
🧵
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.

All on a revenge job search app built out of spite
(and arguably more useful than @indeed ngl)
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.

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.
