The points seem all logical on the surface. There's just one thing that makes me disagree with the article as a whole. The software industry doesn't behave like any other industry. The industry changes and fluctuates as often as software gets refactored. It's like a billion springs permeating a billion sponges. It's silly putty for computers. I saw this coming reading articles about software as a kid. The one rule that hasn't changed in the 30+ years I've been writing software as a hobby or for pay is that the software disobeys all the rules of all the other industries. With software and compute power, if you can dream it you can build it and someone, somewhere, will want it.
