Interesting takeaway. One of the big lessons I took away from the prior three years is that there’s an absolute ton of groupthink and trend chasing among tech leadership. Going all in on remote, over hiring 21-22, now layoffs all come to mind.

There are notable exceptions. Apple rejected (thus far) all three of those trends and is weathering this period much better than most of the industry.

Being counter cyclical pays.

Immensely.
