It's interesting. Maybe I'm in the bigtech bubble, but to me it looks like there isn't enough work for everyone already. Good projects are few and far between.

It's interesting. Maybe I'm in the bigtech bubble, but to me it looks like there isn't enough work for everyone already. Good projects are few and far between. Most of our effort is keeping the lights on for the stuff built over the last 15-20 years. We're really out of big product ideas.
- agsqwe 2y agoThis is very similar to my experience as a software development agency to enterprise customers. Out of big product ideas.
- nkassis 2y agoYes a capacity increase from the developer side is great but it's supply side and we need to figure out how to accelerate transforming needs into demand. This is what I foresee developers turning into (at least some capable of this). Articulating logical solutions to be built to problems and evaluating results from what's generated to ensure it meets the needs. Aka Devs can move up the chain into what was traditionally product roles to increase development of new projects. This is using the time they have regain from more menial tasks being automated away.
- AlwaysRock 2y agoGood projects !== work There is a lot of work. Plenty of it just isnt super fun or interesting.
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoThat's because software is hard to make, and most projects don't make it far enough to prove themselves useful--despite them having the potential to be useful. If software gets easier, a whole new cohort of projects will start surviving past their larval stage. These might not be big products, but who wants big products anyway? You always have to bend over backwards to trick them into doing what you want. You should see the crazy stuff my partner does to make google docs fit her use case... Let's have an era of small products made by people who are close to the problems being solved.
