alt Hacker Newsits not obvious to me that salaries go down, my hunch was that salaries go up but the bar is higher. Software becoming easier to produce (still hard to verify and make useful fwiw) raises the ambitions of software projects, and we don't seem to be close to the ceiling of demand for software systems
There's a limit to what the demandXsupply curve can absorb. It really depends if there's twice as many developers or 10 times more. I think we have enough software development jobs to where we can absorb productivity doubling rather easily, not so sure about anything beyond that.
