"Overhiring" has the same ethos as "overvalued" - completely made up and dependent on random people's opinions.

    There is a degree of subjectivity to it, but at some point you pass a threshold where it should become obvious to most people. When I was in college, a CS degree was the one degree everyone knew would land you a well paying job right from graduation. It had been like that before I got there, and it was like that after I left. That isn't the case anymore, and you can't blame it all on AI.

    This is a good video that shows how the industry has been changing.

    I think the biggest piece of evidence that AI isn’t actually causing the layoffs is that it doesn't actually fucking work and everyone knows it.
