Hmmm. I’ve seen threads on social media from experienced devs having been unemployed for a year now and rather devastated by it.
It can also be a common occurrence and devastating to an individual at the same time. It sucks, and people vent.
I've been in this game a long time and been laid off from about half my gigs. It sucks every time. If it wasn't for the fact that the pay is good and that I like doing it, I probably would've moved to something more stable already.
A certain subset of dev thought they were untouchable. Now they are finding out they're the same level of peasant as the rest of us. Hard fall. :/
