No data to back up the headline? Anecdotally, sure there are a lot of layoffs, but what percentage of the total tech workforce is it? And how does the number of laid-off people compare to the number of existing open positions for devs?
According to this[1], there are 3.85mm tech jobs and 193,900 jobs added this year, so overall the industry grew. It reminds me of the people expecting house prices to fall 30% because interest rates went up a little -- there is still a ton of demand compared to the slightly increased supply on the market, so prices won't shift that much.
