Big Tech Is Rehiring After Mass AI Layoffs (2026)

Software engineering is dead.

At least that's what the headlines want you to believe.

Amazon laid off thousands. Meta cut jobs. Oracle eliminated entire divisions. And everywhere you looked, people were saying the same thing:

"AI is replacing software engineers."

But that's not the full story.

In this video, I break down:
✅ What actually caused the massive tech layoffs
✅ Why companies started spending billions on AI infrastructure
✅ The surprising reason some companies are hiring again
✅ Why AI costs are exploding instead of shrinking
✅ What the future of software engineering really looks like
✅ The skills engineers should focus on in the AI era

As a Microsoft Software Engineer, I wanted to share a realistic perspective based on what's happening across the industry—not fear, hype, or clickbait.

If you're a software engineer, backend developer, full-stack developer, student, or preparing for FAANG interviews, this video is for you.
