This surely isn't surprising to anyone though?

Most job posts on HN were tech orientated. You generally shouldn't be hiring technical people in 2026.

This is an exceptionally small amount of data to draw any conclusion from.

Any better data source? Only things I found is that job postings are down 30% and number of employees at FAANG is lower than in 2021.
