Here’s how they used AI to juggle it all. ## The Idea In 2020, Jordan’s mom complained about cleaning her email inbox. That sparked the idea for a Chrome extension that adds an **unsubscribe button** to emails. Jordan built a demo, showed it to David (a childhood friend), and they decided to work together. They spent 3-4 months building the first version. ## The Pivot After posting on Reddit and getting traction, they took a break from May to September 2021. When they picked it back up, they **added subscriptions** and started running web ads. Realizing they were limited to desktop users, they built mobile apps for iOS and Android in 2023, which allowed them to run **Facebook and Instagram ads** – the last big push before focusing on growth. ## The Secret: AI-Powered Efficiency **Time management** was key. They only worked on features that would directly impact revenue. They used **AI to write code** – copying their web app files into ChatGPT and asking it to rewrite them in React Native for mobile. They never hired a UI designer; AI handled that too. They also **automated customer support** by training AI on their help center data. The AI handled most requests, only escalating to them when needed. This saved countless hours. ## Why They Didn’t Quit Their Day Jobs Both enjoyed their tech jobs and valued stability. David: “I don’t think it’s always the right trade-off to quit an awesome tech job with stability and a retirement plan for something like this.” They funded ads themselves, avoiding investors, and kept their side hustle to about **20 hours a week** (mostly weekends). ## The Sale With kids now, they wanted to capture value. They used AI to **simulate fair market value** and saved on legal fees by coming to lawyers with informed questions. The app was generating **$232,000 in monthly recurring revenue** when they sold it at the end of last year. ## What’s Next? Now they’re planning to build more apps, faster, with AI doing even more of the heavy lifting.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>sidehustle</category> <category>ai</category> <category>softwareengineering</category> <category>startup</category> <category>remotework</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/6a0f62e67ff506e273e66409?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//6a0f62e67ff506e273e66409"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Tech Layoffs Surge: Cisco, LinkedIn, Amazon Cut Thousands Amid AI Shift]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/tech-layoffs-surge-cisco-linkedin-amazon-cut-thousands-amid-ai-shift</link> <guid>tech-layoffs-surge-cisco-linkedin-amazon-cut-thousands-amid-ai-shift</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2026 19:15:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Major tech companies continue to slash jobs as they pivot toward artificial intelligence. **Cisco** announced cutting **4,000 positions** (less than 5% of its workforce) despite record revenue of $15.8 billion. CEO Chuck Robbins stated the company is restructuring to focus on AI, saying: *"The companies that will win in the AI era will be those with focus, urgency, and the discipline to continuously shift investment."* **LinkedIn** is eliminating **875 jobs** (5% of its staff), not due to AI but to reorganize teams and focus on growing business areas. Revenue at LinkedIn grew 12% in the recent quarter. **Amazon** announced potential layoffs affecting **16,000 roles** in its Selling Partner Services team, following a regular review to align with goals. These cuts add to thousands of job losses industry-wide as tech companies invest heavily in AI infrastructure.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>cisco</category> <category>linkedin</category> <category>amazon</category> <category>ai</category> <enclosure url="https://www.al.com/resizer/v2/WYYFQ7TH75B7TMOWJLIP4XSCNE.png?auth=bc19b7db920c64f8e522c30752b879be2f856148d6144028d7773b0b5cfa09e1&width=1280&smart=true&quality=90" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Inside the 'LinkedInferno': How Tech Workers Are Fighting to Survive Record Layoffs]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/inside-the-linkedinferno-how-tech-workers-are-fighting-to-survive-record-layoffs</link> <guid>inside-the-linkedinferno-how-tech-workers-are-fighting-to-survive-record-layoffs</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 17 May 2026 19:15:18 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Tech workers are reeling as AI and mass layoffs upend their formerly dependable and lucrative career path. More than 108,000 tech workers have been laid off this year alone, including from blue-chip firms like Cisco, LinkedIn, PayPal, Meta, and Amazon. Cuts are already nearing last year’s total of 124,281, and they now outpace those following the 2020 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. ## The Human Toll of Layoffs Julia, an executive at a well-known tech company, was shocked when she was laid off in April. “It took me two days to get out of bed,” she said. “I didn’t realize how much of my confidence and emotional wellbeing was tied to having a routine and a community.” She formed a group chat called **“LinkedInferno”** with fellow women in tech to bond over shared challenges. Jonathan Denno, a software test analyst laid off from Fidelity Information Services after a decade, suspects AI investments drove his layoff. He used severance to upskill and apply for jobs, eventually landing a contract role at Apple. “I would dedicate time to job hunting, but the other half was for skill training,” he said. ## AI: The Double-Edged Sword **AI is both a cause of layoffs and a source of hope.** Roger Lee, creator of Layoffs.fyi, explains: “Companies like Meta and Amazon are spending so much on AI investments that they need to cut costs elsewhere. Layoffs are their answer, hoping AI can increase productivity as headcount shrinks.” Elbert Nguyen, 25, laid off from AMD, worries the industry is moving too fast. “It all comes at a cost. I fear it’s being swept under the rug—the political, economic, and environmental risks of AI.” ## The New Reality: Fierce Competition and AI Interviews A senior engineering manager went through **over 50 rounds of near-miss interviews** before accepting a startup role at less than a third of his previous salary. “It’s not the best outcome, but I get to work in AI and reskill myself,” he said. He’s considering relocating to India to make his savings last. Jessica Bryant, laid off from Accenture, applied to hundreds of jobs and was even interviewed by an AI—an exercise she suspects was aimed at improving the technology. She worries about her daughter’s daycare voucher expiring if she doesn’t find a job soon. ## Community as a Lifeline Basem Istanbouli, laid off from Google, founded **un(PTO)**, a group that hosts weekly hikes for laid-off tech workers. The group now attracts over 90 participants per outing. “Even on LinkedIn, saying you’re laid off has shame attached,” he said. “You want to be with people in a similar boat, where you can be vulnerable.” ## A Moment for Reflection Despite the fear, some see opportunity. Julia reflects: “This is a really important time for people to think about how they want to live their lives with purpose and intention. What these layoffs are signaling is something greater—we are going to be replaced at some point. But this is also a chance to question, ‘Is this my calling?’”]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>aiimpact</category> <category>siliconvalley</category> <category>careerchange</category> <category>communitysupport</category> <enclosure url="https://static.independent.co.uk/2026/05/12/10/37/San-Francisco-Bay-Area-Tech-Workers-Lay-Off-IndyComp-2.jpeg?trim=0,0,0,0&width=1200&height=800&crop=1200:800" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Is Already Killing These American Jobs: Data Reveals a Troubling Trend]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-is-already-killing-these-american-jobs-data-reveals-a-troubling-trend</link> <guid>ai-is-already-killing-these-american-jobs-data-reveals-a-troubling-trend</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 19:15:26 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[There’s a certain category of human work that economists are increasingly labeling as "not worth paying for because AI can do it." This group includes jobs in **customer service, sales, administration**, and even some creative roles. Now, real data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is showing the impact—and it's not great. ### The Numbers Don't Lie From May 2024 to May 2025, the number of **customer service representatives** dropped by **130,180**—a **4.8% decrease**. The BLS identified 18 "artificial intelligence related occupations" in a 2024 report, and overall employment in these roles fell by **0.2%**, while total U.S. employment grew by **0.8%**. That's a clear divergence. ### The Full List of AI-Exposed Jobs The BLS singled out these 18 occupations as most susceptible to AI disruption: - Paralegals and legal assistants - Graphic designers - Broadcast announcers and radio disc jockeys - Technical writers - Interpreters and translators - Insurance sales agents - Sales representatives (various categories) - Models - Sales engineers - Procurement clerks - Credit authorizers, checkers, and clerks - Customer service representatives - Executive secretaries and administrative assistants - Legal secretaries and administrative assistants - Medical secretaries and administrative assistants - Secretaries and administrative assistants (except legal, medical, and executive) ### A Distorted Picture? Bloomberg notes that one outlier—**medical secretaries and administrative assistants**—is actually growing, possibly masking the true AI effect. Excluding that role, the other 17 occupations saw a **1.6% decline**. ### The Optimistic View vs. Reality Some, like Ezra Klein, argue that AI will create new and better jobs. But so far, many new roles involve fixing AI mistakes—like graphic designers now cleaning up hideous AI outputs. That's not exactly inspiring. The trend is clear: **AI is starting to replace specific job categories**, and while the drop is still small, it's a warning sign for workers in these fields.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobdisplacement</category> <category>bureauoflaborstatistics</category> <category>automation</category> <category>customerservice</category> <enclosure url="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/05/call-center-jobs-1200x675.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Fastest-Growing Jobs Through 2034: Healthcare and Energy Boom, But AI Clouds Tech Roles]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/fastest-growing-jobs-through-2034-healthcare-and-energy-boom-but-ai-clouds-tech-roles</link> <guid>fastest-growing-jobs-through-2034-healthcare-and-energy-boom-but-ai-clouds-tech-roles</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 12:15:18 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The sluggish job market has you thinking of switching careers? Jobs in tech, health, and energy generation are projected to grow fastest. ## Key Takeaways - **Healthcare and energy jobs** are expected to grow the most in the coming years. - The outlook for **data scientists** is uncertain as AI could either boost or undercut demand. ## Healthcare and Energy Lead Growth Many of the fastest-growing careers through 2034 will be in **healthcare and social services** as the American population ages, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projections. The **energy sector**, including wind and solar power, will also grow as AI, data centers, and electric vehicles drive demand. Jobs like **nurse practitioners** and **physical therapist assistants** are expected to see the most new openings. ## Tech Jobs: Data Science in the Spotlight BLS projects strong growth for some tech jobs, particularly **data scientists**. "The growing demand to build AI models, conduct data analysis, and integrate applications into business practices is expected to drive employment of data scientists," making it the **fourth fastest-growing occupation** in the economy. ## The AI Dilemma for Data Scientists Despite the BLS projection of **34% growth** through 2034, the job market is looking tougher for data scientists and other tech workers. Experts aren't sure whether the **build-out of AI** will help or hurt those in the field. The information sector has shed **342,000 jobs** (about 11% of its workforce) over the past three-and-a-half years. Employment in professional and business services, which also employs data scientists, has been fairly flat. ## AI's Dual Impact Tech companies have been **laying off thousands** while pouring money into AI infrastructure. Data and analytics is the lowest-hiring sector on Indeed. Once the technology matures, demand for professionals who can work with AI, including data scientists, could pick up. But AI can perform tasks assigned to data scientists and could **undercut growth** in the field. Laura Ullrich, Indeed's director of economic research, says it's too early to know which way it will break. For now, companies are mostly using AI to **cut labor costs**, but in the longer run, we might see a different path.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>datascience</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>healthcare</category> <category>energy</category> <enclosure url="https://www.investopedia.com/thmb/XMg_VyEOdZYnlN7rltOCck_z7X0=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/GettyImages-19472253801-f3898d47c88b49e48ff034d8d35e744c.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI-Driven Layoffs Surge: Cisco, Block, and Others Cut Jobs While Investing in Artificial Intelligence]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-driven-layoffs-surge-cisco-block-and-others-cut-jobs-while-investing-in-artificial-intelligence</link> <guid>ai-driven-layoffs-surge-cisco-block-and-others-cut-jobs-while-investing-in-artificial-intelligence</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 15 May 2026 12:15:20 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Layoffs have been piling up recently, especially in the tech world. And the words **"artificial intelligence"** are accompanying more and more notices about the cuts. That’s unnerving workers across sectors, with many fearing what the rapid adoption of AI will mean for their job prospects. Even if AI isn’t replacing people directly, some businesses have announced reductions as they redirect money to the technology or tout new ways to streamline operations — raising alarm about what might be left over for payrolls and future openings. But corporate explanations are often very vague. AI is rarely the sole reason companies cite when taking layoffs, with most still pointing to wider corporate restructuring or macroeconomic headwinds. Some executives have also suggested that, while they’re making cuts to move around resources now, AI and its demand could open up new roles down the road. Still, it’s hard to know if that’s the real driver or just the message a business wants to tell Wall Street. ## Cisco On Wednesday, Cisco Systems announced plans to cut under 4,000 jobs, or about 5% of its workforce. The announcement arrived the same day the tech giant unveiled record revenue for its third fiscal quarter, amid soaring demand for its AI tools and infrastructure. CEO Chuck Robbins told employees in a memo that "the companies that will win in the AI era will be those with focus, urgency, and the discipline to continuously shift investment" — and that meant "making hard decisions." But he said Cisco would also help employees impacted by the cuts find new opportunities, "whether internal or external." ## Block Financial services provider Block in February moved to lay off more than 4,000 of its 10,000 plus employees. And the parent of payment platforms like Square and Cash App was vocal about reconfiguring to capitalize on AI. "The core thesis is simple. Intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company," CEO Jack Dorsey said in a letter to shareholders at the time. "A significantly smaller team, using the tools we’re building, can do more and do it better." ## Dow Not only tech companies have pointed to AI when initiating layoffs. In January, chemicals maker Dow, Inc. announced plans to cut about 4,500 jobs — as part of broader push to "streamline" operations. That included putting more emphasis on AI and automation. ## Pinterest Also in January, Pinterest said it would lay off under 15% of its workforce as the company pivots more of its money to AI. The image-sharing platform said the cuts were part of broader "transformation initiatives" — which included reallocating the company’s resources to AI-focused roles and prioritizing AI-powered products. ## Lufthansa Group Last fall, Lufthansa Group said it would shed 4,000 jobs by 2030 — pointing to the adoption of AI, digitalization and consolidating work among member airlines. ## Cuts at Meta and other big names arrive amid broader AI ramp-up While perhaps not explicitly mentioning or tying the technology to recent layoff announcements, a host of other big names — including Meta, Microsoft and Amazon — are also cutting thousands of jobs while investing billions of dollars toward AI. Meta, for example, plans to lay off about 8,000 workers, or about 10% of its workforce, starting next week. When announcing the cuts last month, the Facebook owner more broadly cited the need to offset certain investments and broader efficiency. Still, the move arrives as Meta continues to ramp up spending on AI infrastructure and highly-paid AI expert hires. And earlier this year, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said 2026 will be when "AI starts to dramatically change the way that we work."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ailayoffs</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>cisco</category> <category>block</category> <category>pinterest</category> <enclosure url="https://dims.apnews.com/dims4/default/98fd4fc/2147483647/strip/true/crop/3000x1999+0+1/resize/980x653!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F25%2Fa1%2Fe466e81bb9309aba619efb115c84%2F012b0aa46df24ffbb008f6e7a7dbe583" length="0" type="image//dims4/default/98fd4fc/2147483647/strip/true/crop/3000x1999+0+1/resize/980x653!/quality/90/"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
