1100 cut, but engineering grew? What's the deal?

Okay, I'm seeing the news about the 1100 layoffs at Cloudflare, and then reading about how the engineering team somehow *increased* its headcount? I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Did they lay off people from other departments and then hire more engineers with the money saved? Or is it a case of laying off a bunch of junior/mid-level folks and bringing in a smaller number of super-senior, highly expensive engineers? Feels like a shell game, and it's making me really question the transparency around this whole situation. Anyone else seeing this weird math and have any insights? Trying to understand the strategy here, because from the outside, it looks pretty contradictory.
