Think it's a confluence of a couple separate things: * End of ZIRP * Musk's twitter firing spree being watched & emulated by others. i.e. there was rest & vest happening & execs realised some fat can be cut * Bootcamp generation has moved beyond entry level and is now competing with more established players * Entire thing just naturally goes in waves * More fractured/specialised field. Language/Framework/Job description feels like things are more granularly sliced these days * AI whether real or illusionary has some execs focused on things other than "lets hire humans"
