I’d argue that a number of these aren’t tech companies. No more so than any other companies who happen to employ developers.

There are also a few, like Cameo, who can only exist in a boom economy.

Still it’s terrible for the people who are losing their jobs.

Does it matter?

No, not as such, but they say:

> “Stay up-to-date on the latest layoffs across big tech, tech unicorns, and top startups.“

That makes it a weird mix of concerning layoff and layoff that would have happened eventually anyway.

You’re right that it doesn’t matter, so why not include all companies that employ developers and operation people and get a real feel for the current job market?
