Not just 20 extra people. I’m seeing a funny trend in my company where managers decide to get into vibe coding and they get super excited at getting something somewhat functional running, so now they’ve been presenting “their work” and expecting developers to merge their heaping trash in. That’ll require quite a few more people.
This is the real problem thats leading to them thinking they can fire so many people. They get all excited because it can sometimes do something (and possibly do it terribly behind the scenes, but still do it) and oh shit we don’t need any humans anymore!
Then you get companies regretting laying people off. The wrong people are making the decisions without understanding what is happening.
