You might be ignoring the productivity gains in software dev over the last 10 years.
With open-source, languages like go/rust, excellent IDEs and basically free compute, the amount that a single developer can produce is 10x/20x more.
- ChrisMarshallNY 7y agoTell me about it. I write in Swift. I love it. I started with Machine Code (not ASM -Machine Code). Also, all those lovely system frameworks are wonderful. I used to use MacApp (Google it), and PowerPlant (Same). AppKit and UIKit knock them into a cocked hat. SwiftUI shows promise, but it may be a year or two before it can really match the standards.
