I mean isn't even "bad" right now at all by most measures. Employment is still very strong, growth is slowed, but not stopped. Only inflation is elevated. The two things that incentivize starting a business in a recession are low rates (more VC money available) and high unemployment (cheaper, freer labor) and we have neither of those. Even after dumping 100K or so engineers on the market, that is barely enough to soak up all the undersupply of the past 5 years.
