Ask HN: What is the underlying factor behind the tech layoffs?
I've seen a lot of speculation about what's causing the tech layoffs but it's still not especially clear to me what the underlying cause is.
Particularly I've wondered why hiring seems to be going up in other industries but down in tech.
Higher interest rates seems like the most likely cause to me, but wouldn't that have the same impact on other industries?
Interested in HN's theory of mind on it.
