A consensus is beginning to emerge on the impact of the ‘Big Tech Winter’ - 200,000 workers have been laid off, yet most of these are
not engineers but from business support functions such as marketing, sales, HR and TA, along with a tranche of non-coding managers. The developers that have been let go have either found jobs quickly, are
starting up on their own or - as viewers of last week's brainfood live can attest -
generally taking it easy.
