Because they don't have 4000+ workers worth of work to do?
- coliveira 10mo agoIf they cannot think of new features to improve the software, I'm pretty sure their competition can.
- thunky 10mo agoThere isn't an endless supply of features waiting to be built and money waiting at the door to pay for them. Do we really think that the only thing keeping them from being the biggest company on earth is their shortage of developer talent?
- coliveira 10mo agoSo you really believe that we arrived to the end of software? It's obvious that a competitor could create a better software (if that was possible with AI).
- thunky 10mo ago> So you really believe that we arrived to the end of software? No that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that demand (for a product or service) is what drives the amount of labor that is performed, not the other way around. If a company has maxed out the amount of widgets the can sell in their market and adding new features will not change that, then adding more labor makes no sense. It follows that making their existing labor more productive leads to layoffs.
