Their point is interesting. Feels a little like the first mover take all outcome, too. Ie if software does do something dramatically helpful (has a truly killer feature) it’ll often push other entrants out. Thinking of you, Windows 95. I think this also underscores that programmers would benefit from some form of regularization. Like instead of a degree followed by a job, a close apprenticeship graduating into a junior membership in a programmer guild or union. Is anybody offering that?
