Maybe some devops will have to spin more servers. But programmers allready did their job. Compare this to selling physical objects. If you can make 1M cars per month, you cannot easily make 1.4M per month: it requires more workers, machines, supply. Those are quite neglible in software. Also your workers can make cars 2x faster than everyone else (better productivity) but nobody will buy them, since they are poor quality
