What time frame counts as "not that far off" to you?
If you tried to bet me that the market for talented software engineers would collapse within the next 10 years, I'd take it no question. 25 years, I think my odds are still better than yours. 50 years, I might not take the bet.
- subtlesoftware 1y agoGreat question. It depends on the product. For niche SaaS products, I’d say in the next few years. For like Amazon.com, on the order of decades.
- bloppe 1y agoIf the niche SaaS product never required a talented engineer in the first place, I'd be inclined to agree with you. But even a niche SaaS product requires a decent amount of engineering skill to maintain well.
