> the tech industry won't be going away for a long, long time After a century of existence, auto manufacturers are still here too. The issue is how the industry has changed over time, and what their experience can teach others. Auto manufacturers have increased output relentlessly through better tooling, automation, and engineering advancements, while reducing labor requirements to levels that would have been ridiculous even 10 years before. And, they have done that for decades. Software has the same vectors of improvement and shows a similar growth of form factors. Consumer software, as it is now, is only ~40 years old. I think there is a lot of experience, and lessons, that could translate from older industries, especially around the handling of people, knowledge, and industry shifts. And, it might be wise to avoid relearning some of their lessons the hard way.
