I'm not terribly surprised. General rule of thumb is you devote 20% of your resources to KTLO. If you fire 50% of your staff, you can still keep the lights on, just the portion of new development fell from 80% of your capacity to 60%.

Now obviously firing entire teams changes that metric some. Probably why there's been some high profile outages like MFA. But most companies can sacrifice large portions of their workforce if they only want to maintain the status quo.
