> >layoff developers
for now we are not sure what is gonna happen. Big tech is surely reducing headcount to invest more in AI. but with recent downtime of github/AWS and them not blaming AI but humans, says a lot about that they will go to any extent to prove AI is bringing value enough to fire human engineers.
At this point, you can't convince me that this is not, in fact, some shadow HR big brain play just to keep HR jobs with a constant layoff/rehiring cycle
HR jobs aren't gonna get automated by AI as well? AI is a force multiplier, now the HR department only needs to be half the size it was to support the same number of people.
