Blame AI cause you over hired medium talent? Having survived the 2000 bubble there were two kinds of folks left. Those who were important enough to keep and those who were passionate enough to stay and figure out how to eat till the market recovered. If that sounds grim, it is. And there are people of people who survived that time working bullshit jobs. My good friend talks about doing side gigs while working in the liquor store. About getting bumped off his dial up every time someone used the ATM. Coming out of that grim period was an amazing time (2003 onward). Talent was all that was left, and they were chomping at the bit to start up interesting products and projects.
