#2 already happened in 2020 with Uber & Lyft significantly cutting their engineering workforce (but not fully like a bankruptcy might entail). I remember feeling concern about the local SF job market at the time, it was totally unfounde

Just to echo this is similar to my experience. Java development culture that I have known in the work place is extremely coddled by their frameworks. It is hard for them to open the terminal and execute their application JAR from the comman

How did you come up with $1 as the market clearing price? At what monthly price point would you decide to dissolve your marriage? I don't think perpetual subscription pricing is a match-making model folks are interested in--as evidence
