The tech industry is experiencing a period of significant shifts, marked by both opportunities and challenges, according to recent reports. From a potential resurgence of remote work to a major selloff in software stocks, several trends are reshaping the landscape.
A recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research predicted a comeback for remote work, driven by the changing demographics of leadership. The research, which tracked monthly surveys of 8,000 U.S. workers aged 20 to 64 across 2025, found that millennial and Gen Z bosses are far more likely to embrace remote work than their older counterparts. "Employees at younger firms, and under younger CEOs, spend significantly more time" working remotely, the study concluded (Source 4). This shift suggests a potential return to the flexibility seen during the pandemic era, albeit gradually.
Simultaneously, the software sector is facing a "generational" moment, according to some market observers. A widespread selloff in software stocks has occurred, with JPMorgan analysts estimating that software companies lost around $2 trillion in value over the past year (Source 5). This downturn, dubbed the "SaaSpocalypse" by some, is occurring as investors grapple with the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the value propositions of tech giants. However, some executives and market veterans view this as a buying opportunity, anticipating the next phase of the AI boom (Source 5).
In other tech news, Stardex, a Y Combinator-backed startup, is seeking a Customer Success Engineer to assist with AI and data migration for executive search firms (Source 1). The role, which is remote and offers a salary between $45,000 and $75,000, requires experience with TypeScript and SQL scripting.
Additionally, the open-source project Shaper offers SQL-driven data dashboards powered by DuckDB (Source 2). Users can quickly try out Shaper via Docker or explore its features through the provided documentation. The project offers managed hosting and support, with updates available via newsletter and social media.
Finally, a diagram created in 2010 by Vincent Driessen, illustrating a Git branching model, was recently noticed on Microsoft's Learn portal (Source 3). Driessen, who designed the diagram and published the source file, noted that it had spread widely across the internet.
