For what it’s worth, I came to say the same thing, then saw you already did.

It’s hard to disentangle the effect HN has on our thinking, though. Just because layoffs have popped up on HN, are we both imagining that it’s part of a global trend? Or do global tech trends inherently appear on HN? Hard to say.

I read a few comments before I realized they were written in 2010, and not 2020. It's surprising how many of those predictions (easily most of the ones I read) seem completely applicable to the coming decade.
People may still be voting on comments in that thread.
