They're working on the 200 programs that suddenly became economically viable to create because of the vastly decreased cost of making programs.
It takes drastically less programming effort to create programs than it did 50 years ago. Did that decrease demand for programmers? No, it drastically increased it.
- BulgarianIdiot 4y agoWhat you call a programmer today is on average nothing like the programmer from 50 years ago who'd fit Microsoft Excel in 80kb RAM on the original Mac.
