I agree with the author that software eats software. It took a sophisticated, expensive team just to launch an ecommerce line a couple decades ago, now you need no engineers at all. This trend will continue. I disagree that this will result in net decrease for engineer demand in the foreseeable future. There appears to be no evidence for this at this time. Investor demand for new software products is currently endless. I agree that a trend towards remote work could be a downward pressure on engineer salaries and power, particularly for silicon valley workers. On the other hand, it could instead be an upward pressure for all us engineers outside of silicon valley. It could be both, or maybe the remote trend will fizzle out in a year. Time will tell.
