Yeah I don't see it. If you're just counting developers there has been less than 10% of the total us developer workforce laid off to date since 2022. This just seems like wishful thinking on the part of business owners. Sorry folks we still cost a premium.

Not only that, software is a unique sector in which a lot of the capital is in the talent.

These companies aren't laying off labor that have few choices. They're budding off knowlegible competetors.

If these folks can't find a well paying job it's a very real option to create a well-performing company.
