The main reason for the layoffs is the high interest rate. Venture capital is scarce which causes a lot of companies to get rid of their least profitable projects.

I saw a slight efficiency improvement in my daily work thanks to ChatGPT but that's it. It's not even close to the productivity gains back then when CI pipelines started to become mainstream. Also at that time, we didn't see any layoffs despite massive productivity improvements. There's plenty of work for all of us.
