> We are coming to a point where software is developing so fast and the abstractions getting better that soon we will have more software written by a smaller number of people.

I think software is just a big pile of garbage. The thing is: our civilization depends on this pile of garbage. It's remarkable that the whole thing somehow chugs along.

Over time, the pile will just keep getting bigger and bigger and more people will be needed to keep it from collapsing.



Yeah, pretty much. But maybe more like a compost heap. Occasionally something nice sprouts from all of that shit. Not too often, though.
