Oof indeed. It's hard to think back to June 2022, but I'd have to imagine some of the sentiment increases are due to supply chain shortages getting worked out.

Personally as someone in tech, it feels like with interest rates going up, a lot of investments in technology companies have dried up. Looking back, mid 2010s was low interest rates and it seemed like there was more money being invested, without the focus of immediate profit. Now it feels like the screws are being tightened and every cent they can extract out of customers is being taken advantage of, regardless if that is overall good for the product or company.
