Hey sorry to hear that, layoffs really suck. Do you think it happened because of AI "taking your job" or was the org doing poorly regardless?

I lost my largest customer because they wanted to take development in-house. They're going AI-first and not hiring more developers. Just getting rid of contractors. It's going to be interesting to see.
My prediction: Will go awesome for a few months, and the cracks will start to show. Might even ask you to come back and fix something AI can't seem to get quite right.
A lot of my gig work comes from non-technical people who started down the path with vibe-coding and need bailed out. I foresee a future where I'm overseeing a larger portfolio of projects that just need me to keep things from going off the rails completely.
