Managers about to find out the hard way that all the requirements are in the brains of those they laid off.

I’m sure coding bootcamp and AI will turn them into leet hax0rs.

Definitely happening at at least one major company I'm familiar with.

Requirements and everything else.

I feel this in my bones. Even before the recent round of restructuring we've had a significant about of turnover. Our infrastructure is a massive rube golberg machine with multiple houses of cards built on top of it. Institutional knowledge was never written down and it has been leaving the company at an accelerating rate over the past 5 years. Tons of "new blood" making lots of assumptions on how things work is resulting in... humorous end results.
