Everyone is trying to find any glimmer of hope for a software development recovery. It ain’t happening, there is way too much of a glut, BigTech has learned to operate leaner and VC funding isn’t coming back since the public market doesn’t want money losing startups and acquisitions are at a much lower valuation. The tax law won’t change that. Not to mention that the entire US economy is now at the whims of ChatGPT - where the current admiration got its tariff policy from. https://www.theverge.com/news/642620/trump-tariffs-formula-a... | |||||||||||||||||

I think it’s a material different for SMEs, especially bootstrapped firms small consultancies. But you’re right, I think some skepticism is warranted since there’s a lot of factors depressing the tech sector rn. | |||||||||||||||||

>BigTech has learned to operate leaner I think almost all of big tech have more employees now than they did 3 years ago. There's just not as much growth or anticipation of growth, nor as much turnover. When VC money is flush in the system, people are leaving their FAANG jobs for crazy scale up money. Now that it's happening less, big tech will have less turnover, etc. | |||||||||||||||||
