Proton CEO says company will stop hiring engineers

Original: Proton CEO Andy Yen: "This will be the last year that we hire engineers."

Proton CEO Andy Yen said this will be the last year the privacy company hires engineers, a statement drawing attention amid wider debate about AI reducing demand for software engineering roles.
