Is programming dead?

On X people claim 100s of thousands of tech layoffs, ghost jobs, a dead industry. I don't see this anywhere else. HackerNews seems alive, Wellfound seems alive (though impossible to get an interview) recruiters seem alive, though seemingly have no jobs. What is going on? What is reality? I am asking this on X and dev.to as well. Are we being silently replaced?

I see posts like this often on X:

My own experience has been that it is next to impossible to get an interview regardless of my expertise and up-to-date skill-set.
