seems that within the tech zeitgeist there is a growing trend of salaried employees who really only pretend to work - doing at most a few hours per week, obfuscated by Zoom, LLMs, outsourcing and naturally covered by layers of bureaucracy in the typically large company they work for. what does this mean for the future? is this just a lagging zero-interest rate phenomenon, or is there something more fundamental?

Elon cut Twitter's staff by 80% and the site kept running. This showed what most people intuitively knew: at any large tech co, there's a small number of people who do the vast majority of the work that matters. The rest of industry seems to be understanding this and moving in this direction.

I actually experienced a hit on performance and bugs for months after the layoffs, won’t even mention bots and the algorithm turning into the most garbage ever but that’s probably elons choice. Regardless they definitely had over staffing as every big company does.
