> I guess you don't need as many unmotivated employees / management / DEI types as previously thought. All of my friends who feel real love for their work and live and breathe tech are still employed or have no problem finding employment.

  In my circles, those who get offers and those who are still employed are artisans par excellence, of course. No exceptions. Luck and circumstances have nothing to do with it. Others must really be shit or DEI.

No. In my circles, those who are still employed are in positions not easily replaced, e.g devops or security. Webdevs and those in game development have suffered the most. As has management.
