Introducing Dreamwork, the last tool you'll ever need to find your dream job.
With just a resume we match you to millions of jobs, tailor each resume and submit them for you - all with just a click.
But it's more nuanced than that ⤵

Prediction: In the AI age, taste will become even more important. When anyone can make anything, the big differentiator is what you choose to make.

As software gets easier to make, the products that stand out will be the ones crafted with uncommon care.
If that's the kind of work you want to do, I'm sharing everything I know:

Great taste can’t be taught, but it *can* be earned. Most people vastly underestimate how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Real innovation happens when you live and breathe what you're building.
It's only by entertaining every possible direction that your intuition can really get to work.

Twitter has to be my go to sports app for a while but @farcaster_xyz + @BrackyHQ has me hooked.
It's a great day to create micro interactions only .9% of our most thoughtful users will notice, but everyone will feel.

social gambling: imagine $bracky inside your leagues group chat, allowing you to shoot one off bets with friends, customize entire bracket parameters, wager together, friend groups versus friend groups… everything is a market, now with friends
sports gambling is $150b market
imagine portnoy placing bets on feed, someone calls him dumb, he doubles down right there with unique bet against the hater
pooled group chats taking other side of shot caller bets directly in feed
entire fantasy leagues being ran in public across influencer & content creation groups
Indiscernible front-end bugs: scarier than any horror film imaginable (and usually last about as long)

Designers, YC is calling for you.
@ycombinator just put out a "request for startups" for more designer founders.
starting a group chat for designers who want to build their idea/startup... we’ll share:
- product ideas
- best frameworks and tools
- design engineering talks
- design founder chats
reply if you wanna join
If you can find something people love for its own sake, and figure out how to make it better, you have something interesting.
Attention to detail at the highest level is only possible when you're genuinely obsessed with what you're building.
↑ 50% knowing what to do, 50% perseverance ↑

More designers should be founders. They already have so many of the skills needed to be great – strong user empathy, a focus on solving problems, a high bar for quality, and taste.
If you're a designer, what's preventing you from making the leap?
