About

I research how the tech world is being reshaped in the post-pandemic, post-layoff, AI-first economy. Deep dives into AI economics, tech markets, and business. I’m Daria, a product manager, and I've been working in B2B and B2B2C SaaS for the past 9 years. I cover: - tech and business analysis you can't find by googling - which trends are real vs noise - where top tech talent is settling post-layoffs and what that signals - how these shifts reshape what gets built, who gets hired, and how people grow
