AppAmaGooFaceSoft is only one part of the picture. The ability for engineers to open their own companies, from one person businesses to unicorn startups is the other part of the picture and I think even more important because, barring some extreme changes to our business laws, it's not going away as long as such companies are valuable. If salaries drop, I thin we would see a giant increase in entrepreneurs. The more the drop, the higher the increase. There's no need to build a unicorn to make good money. One or two people is all it takes, often. Startups know this because they all were in the same position not too long ago. What's to keep their employees from going out and forming their own startup with the same idea, especially when non-competes can't be enforced? Why wouldn't tech workers do so if their salaries dropped so significantly? Or pursue other ideas? Or work easier, non-tech jobs?
