I'm curious what level of blending there is between the two states. "We need to lay people off now to focus on profitability" Are they also doing any hiring whatsoever? If in 6 months Jerome Powell comes out and says "no more rate hikes, expect to taper down from 5% to 3% in the next 12 months", does DigitalOcean (and companies like them) turn around and "go for growth" again and restart the (expensive) hiring process (after having just laid people off not too long ago)?
