By me: Tech layoffs surge—again—but mainstream businesses are hiring techies.. Tech layoffs this year already exceed all of last year, but workers are finding jobs in industries such as aerospace/defense, business consulting, and finance/banking.
Thanks, and also:
this may be another proof of my observation that "#AI is the last stand to save digital tech from growing up, to be just another... unglamorous industry like many others, with the same average profitability or job (in)security"

@mfioretti_en Remembering a line from the novel "Microserfs," written 30 years ago, about a group of early-20-somethings who work at Microsoft and idolize Bill Gates. Something like: "Without billg, Microsoft would be just another office supplies company."
exactly. A non-negligible part of what's happening now seems geeks depressed because they now have "just a job", and obscuring those who never had one, or cannot find a new one
