🔗 More Software

Kenton Varda on Twitter:

Worries that software developer jobs are going away are backwards. There is SO MUCH software to build right now, that previously wasn't possible (uses AI directly) or wasn't cost-effective (too niche). We're going to have more developers, and orders of magnitude more software.

It’s hard to see if you live in a tech bubble like myself, but much of the world runs on shitty, glued-together systems (if they have software at all).

Where is the bespoke app that helps someone start and run a childcare business out of their own home? What about the tire shop down the road — is there something that could solve their problems that doesn’t exist?

In light of AI efficiencies, some companies may choose to become more lean. The industry may certainly restructure. But I agree with Kenton — the net result will simply be more software, and in places that it has never been before.

And nobody is better at creating software with AI tools than software engineers.
