GitHub lays off 10% and goes fully remote

To be honest, all these tech layoffs are getting a bit scary. I do partially understand why they’re happening, but seeing company after company announcing a huge layoff does make me feel a bit scared.

This is getting really scary. I mean I do understand the economic situation of the world but seeing big companies laying off their employees, makes me feel scared what will become of small software companies.

This is sad news. With all the tech layoffs it might be the time to start your own business.
