It's not all s174, but a lotta stuff in 2022 all happened at once and s174 accelerated that: - Pandemic swells from tech was cooling off. It was simply not going to be a situation that facilitated constant growthong term. Likewise, this tail end also meant another round of trying to outsource tech overseas, now that companies spent a few years forcibly adjusting to remote work. - some new privacy policies in Apple and Android changed that made it harder for ad tech to do their jobs. Great for consumers, but this does mean that a part of tech would be hit hard over the impacted revenue. - the overall atmosphere in the world meant people were already taking recessionary measures. Companies were already staring to plateau in growth around this time - interest rates would increase the next year which impacts everything. But tech would be hit pretty hard itself. - the Ai hype bubble was starting to take off around this time. It wouldn't affect tech for a while, but it would slowly start this pivtot to try and push this as a marketing gimmick and shift priorities. And in a few cases, companies start to get this genius idea that this very premature tech can replace programmers. A lot of stuff just happened all at once. S174 alone wouldn't have caused such a downturn by itself if companies thought they could still profit at the end of thr day.
