You don't know what you're talking about. I personally know multiple devs who were laid off from my company. These companies don't give a shit about your skills anymore, they're purely looking at how much money you cost them.

Devs are getting laid off, but he actually does have a point that in the case of several of the biggest companies, the hardest hit were middle management, not devs.
