I'm a software developer, recently laid off, and the job market feels flat.<p>I've been to a conference and a couple meetups and a common theme I've heard from employees and founders is that their companies are increasingly hiring from outside the US.<p>I'm thinking this is going to continue - especially with the advent of AI-assisted coding. Fewer software developer positions in the US.<p>Maybe startups who need that faster iteration loop will keep the team smaller and together?<p>What does this mean for US-based software developers?
