If tech actually trims 40% of SWEs and PMs next year, here is exactly what happens: - PMs go extinct. The professional meeting-schedulers, "visionaries," and Jira-pushers are gone first. Seeing this first hand. Top 20% Product managers will survive. - The code still runs. Let's be real, 20% of SWEs do 80% of the actual work. The rest of you are resting & vesting or writing documentation no one reads. The product won't die, it'll just stop shipping useless bloated features. - Tech hubs implode.
