Who was the first person to kick it off? Microsoft? Google? Meta? Meta had a reason because their stock tanked due to Apple's privacy changes or whatever.
- wkat4242 4y agoI think it started with the YCombinator letter in may last year: https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/19/yc-advises-founders-to-plan-for-the-worst/ https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/19/yc-advises-founders-to-pla... I think the economy didn't go as bad as they thought though.
- MuffinFlavored 4y agowhat's your personal take: we're in a recession (the beginning, the middle, the end?) or it hasn't even started yet? how long until it starts? how long will it last?
- sph 4y agoWe are in the recession but the media and political world are so scared of it they keep saying we're on the verge of it, for months. Or they blame COVID or the war in Europe. So everybody now believes that until it is called as such, everything is fine.
- MonkeyClub 4y agoA couple of months back I posed the same question, and a mob came out of the woodwork denying any recession. Then we started having news of thousands of layoffs every couple of weeks. I too wonder how the perception has changed in the meantime - and what the effect of a tech recession/layoffs spree will be on the general economy and real businesses.
