I have a lot to say about this. First, Software is saturated. Every idea is being attacked such that the boring things are the only niche available. That’s why you see more boring startups in software. Second the innovation in software largely raw garbage. Humanity moving forward is developing a light speed drive but software innovation is mainly something along the lines of: instead of looking through the phone book for a plumber there’s an app for that now. And if you look even deeper at the technology of software itself it’s mostly horizontal development of endlessly making new abstraction after abstraction without ever really knowing if things are improving. Case in point we went from server side rendering to single page apps and now we’re heading back without ever really knowing if things have improved or gotten more complex. I don’t want biology to model software. Software is a bunch of illusions and no progress anywhere. Ironically I think AI is the one part of software that isn’t an illusion as this is real progress in creating an entity that can’t be differentiated from a human. The thing is most people think AI is an illusion because it “hallucinates” and I’m just thinking the whole time that the fact that we created something that can lie, deceive and hallucinate is a marker of progress bigger than all the bullshit progress you see in the rest of software and the software startup world. So I disagree with op. Good on biology to not do boring bs.
