> With that being said, Lyfts hiring practices is probably NOT why they are laying people off
My comment was more a critique of the en-vogue hiring practice of basing a majority of a hiring decision on whether the engineering candidate can pass leetcode level X.
As for why Lyft is struggling is really two-fold, not diversifying themselves besides ride-hailing really pinned them into a corner unlike their competitor Uber which branched into food delivery and other gig businesses. In addition they like many other tech companies over-hired due to pandemic money and herd mentality.
