- oblio 3y agoTemporarily Embarrassed Millionaires. Most haven't also realized that just because they work in software, it doesn't mean the world hasn't changed. The times of Microsoft's IPO creating tens of thousands of millionaires and multiple billionaires are gone. Until the next big platform pops up, things are not frozen, but stuck in mud. The biggest Windows apps have probably been the same since 20 years ago. The biggest MacOS apps, same. The biggest iOS apps probably stabilized at least 5 years ago. Android, same. Quoting kids: game's gone.

- oblio 3y agoYes, but I'd say that until a new platform pops up, at least 80% of what's on existing has been staked out by at least medium sized companies, if not mega-corps. Those remaining 20% can still make for decent living, I won't deny that.
