Yeah, but it's well established that big companies will pay ten, a hundred, a thousand times more if it means they have 100% control over the software and data.

- edw519 17y ago"There are hundreds of thousands of programmers who wouldn't have jobs if not for that fact." Not my experience. There would still be plenty of work for those hundreds of thousands of programmers. The reason that most companies have programmers is not because the want 100% control over the software and data. It's because they have no choice. They can't find pre-packaged software that perfectly supports their business rules. Moving their apps to the cloud does nothing to change the way they run their business. They'll still need the same programmers to support that.
