There is a disconnect between “tech talent” and the overlap of layoffs. Sure, some firms have downsized across the board, but plenty of layoffs we are seeing in the last 12 weeks is focused on areas other than engineering.

Depending on how long and deep the recession is, engineers will get impacted at some point.
Where does this narrative come from? Yes, engineers are also impacted at this point.
Sure, but tech companies need marketing, product and recruiters too. Even if it's a software business, it can't just be run by software engineers (even if FB came closer than any other company I've worked for).
