    Here’s a good one of you read past the doom anecdotes they give you the hard data. It’s not dying by any means but 130,000 tech workers were laid off this year. If you’re still employed or have a lot of experience you’re probably fine. It’s the newbies and grads that are experiencing a tight labor market.

      Thanks, I work on now somewhat obscure stuff. Hopefully I can hang on for a while longer. AI is amazing but I don’t think it is ready to do my job yet.
