A little depressing to see GitHub join the zeitgeist. Probably mandated from above by Microsoft. The next time I'm on a job search, I'll be de-prioritizing, and possibly even excluding, those tech companies that laid people off in order to signal to investors that they had their finances under control. I was kind of attached to GitHub, though, so this is disappointing.



Hey, there is always GitLab!


GitLab also just announced layoffs: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2023/02/09/gitlab-news/


weren’t they yesterday?


How can you be sure that investor signalling is their motivation?


As opposed to what alternative explanation?
