Fairly sure software dev was always an iceberg. Most software and most software devs aren't working on horizontal software, but on vertical software, in cost centers. Sales for that kind of software don't scale as much.
- roncesvalles 2mo agoMost vertical software is just horizontal software glued together
- oblio 2mo agoHorizontal open source modules... And making the horizontal modules doesn't employ many people, both because of FOSS and also because you only need so many reusable modules. When we were making brick houses we needed a few brick factories with thousands of people for million of bricklayers.
