Not convinced. There is an obvious value in having more food or more products for almost anybody on Earth. I am not sure this is the case for software. Most people's needs are completely fulfilled with the amount and quality of software they already have.

Quite the opposite is true. For a large proportion of people, they would increase both the amount of years they live and quality of life by eating less.

I think the days where more product is always better lapse to an end - we just need to figure out how the economy should work.

But how about some silly software for just a giggle. Like 'write website that plays fart sound when you push button'? That can be a thing for the kids at school.
