I thought there was a VC funding crisis? How can they afford to hire so much?
Sometimes those tenured FAANG veterans have a bit of savings.

I mean, I do agree, but isn't this what journalism is? Reporting on the facts? It's a thing that's happening, ergo it's news. If there's a shooting and shootings have happened before, is that not still news? It happened after all. It's got to be better than just ignoring things because it's status quo.
this might have been news is like, 2009, but it's certainly not a new trend worth reporting.
Not everyone is plugged into the tech world.

Nobody has any idea how tech works outside tech bubble. That is to say it’s news for 99% of population.

#16If it's anything like 2011-2015 these former-FAANG employee heavy startups are going to be desiccated once FAANG decides to start hoarding talent again.
Do you have references for this data?
[Also, I’m wondering if FAANG are now more interested in hiring people with AI/ML experience (i.e. competition for the talent of the latest trend and so as to deprive competitors of the talent…)]

There have been significant layoffs recently. What happens to those people is news, because the layoffs were large enough to be news.

Exactly! The audience is not a standing army but a moving parade. Rehashing something Ogilvy said.
