If a company wants to cut a lot of SWE it wouldn't matter if you have adapted or not, they will just cut as much as they can. How can you adapt more than another SWE? These tools seem easy to learn and there isn't a massive learning curve if you're a programmer. I wonder if changing to a different role would work but I would be skeptical, because after SWEs they will try to cut the other jobs and if there is no one at the bottom, middle management doesn't make sense.
