This is exactly how it’s going down

Companies that needed to hire 10 people to grow, only need to hire 9 now

In less than 5 years that’s going to be 7 or 6 people

I’m doing more with 5 engineers than I was able to do with 15 just 10 years ago

Part of that is libraries etc have matured too but we’ve reached the point from a developer perspective that you don’t need to build new technologies, you just need to put what exists together in new ways

All the parts exist for any technology to be built, it’s about composition and distribution at this point
