Stack Overflow, the coding help forum, has announced a layoff of 28% of its staff as it grapples with achieving profitability. CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar stated that the company is "significantly reducing the size of our go-to-market organization." After doubling its employee count last year, Chandrasekar revealed in an interview with The Verge that about 45% of those hires were for its go-to-market sales team. This layoff news comes a year after the company made a significant hiring push, expanding its size to over 500 individuals. Stack Overflow did not provide specific reasons for the layoffs, but the hiring surge began around the onset of a generative AI boom that has integrated chatbots into every facet of the tech industry.
