My good friend Joe McKendrick just recently covered this pattern that I have actually also seen happening.The recent tech
market layoffs are driving a wave of what some are calling “solopreneurs “doing gig work or independent contracting. Think DoorDash or Uber Eats, but rather of delivering Thai food, people are providing crucial cloud advisory services and even completed cloud-based systems prepared for deployment.This is driven by the anticipation that a slowing economy is most likely to drive down tech sales.
