I don’t want to dox myself but I’m currently solo developing an application that would’ve took a company of minimum 100 to build just 15 years ago.
People are amazed when they see the stuff I solo built and imagine there is a huge company behind it.
It is all because of advances in DevOps, cheap server infrastructure, and good quality open source libraries.
It is actually scary to see this first hand because human productivity is increasing at a such a rapid speed, it will result in extreme levels of excess productivity in future.
So an economy without scarcity is getting closer to our reach but political landscape, general populace, and influential people try their hardest to prevent this from happening.
- mellavora 5y agoYes, likewise. I've built an app which is in clinical use at multiple institutions. Solo. In my spare time. Sure, I'm a good developer. But as DethNinja points out, the real enabler of this are the advances in cheap server infra + libraries. It's the tooling as much as the tool-user.
