Ask HN: Has the tech recession affected you?

I don't see much talk of it here, but are we in the depths of a serious tech recession? VC world seems to have been decimated, massive layoffs at most tech firms, IT consulting and contracting also decimated. Have you been affected? Is there any end in sight? Sharing your experiences can help others to know they're not alone.
