> But the demand for software engineers decreasing? I mean, maybe, but I don’t think your points support that. I think there’s a mountain of assumptions you need to make to conclude that.

If all businesses are suffering in that scenario, then who will employ the software engineers?

> all businesses are suffering

This is itself a massive assumption. What extremes are we assuming and how likely are they? There are businesses who flourished under covid and also businesses that basically print money during conflicts / wars. Almost all of them require and use software. So are we talking apocalypse here? If so, then I have no idea what the job market will look like, and neither does anyone else.

Maybe we are talking about the apocalypse here, as per upthread. No one knows what will happen once interest rates go up.
