They used the word in an irregular way. They meant a decline in software company revenue, not an economic recession.
You might well see more software profits if costs go down but less revenue. Depends on Jevon's paradox really
- simianwords 1y agoNo this doesn’t make sense either. Why would Amazon‘s profits go down if their engineers are cheaper?
- torginus 1y agoIn AWS's case - if AI can replicate what AWS offers as a value add - then you migh go with a cheaper cloud provider. Like, you have the option of either using AWS RDS, or hiring a DBA and devops who administer your DB, and set up backups, replication and networking. If AI (or a regular dev with the help of AI) can do that, it might mean your company decides to take the administrative burden on, and save the money.

- graeme 1y agoI didn't say profits down. The OP was talking about revenue for some companies potentially declining.
