1. Anecdotally these layoffs seem to have affected mostly non-technical roles.
2. The US produces 65,000 [1] CS graduates each year. This doesn't include immigration and people who go into tech having graduated with non-CS degrees.
The layoffs are significant in their local context but I wouldn't think they're large enough to perceptibly affect much on the ground for SWEs.
