Are these actually developers getting laid off? I recall seeing similar posts like this last year and it turns out they just laid off middle management and sales positions, and kept the actual devs
The Linkedin layoffs today were mostly engineering people, although a chunk of them were middle management. Not sure though if they were operations people (IT running the systems) or devs.
Ah interesting, thanks!
