I’m doing another LIVE Office Hours. My amateur streaming setup will probably break, but screw it. It’s fun. This time I want to talk about my favorite subject: TECH LAYOFFS. We’ll look at the forces reshaping the tech job market: AI, offshoring, macroeconomics, and geopolitics. Then I’ll make some near to medium term predictions about where things are headed. I make no promises that I’ll be right. But I do promise it’ll be interesting.
