Re My thought:
- Too many SaaS products built by developers for developers.
- Not enough developer customers.
Because developers prefer solving their own problems rather than paying for solutions.
But if you build tools that make life easier or more fun for people with limited technical knowledge, the market is huge.

Re @noampomsky It's really still only possible for software developers. The AIs aren't NEARLY good enough to give you what you want on the first go, or to fix it without software dev level understanding of what's gone wrong.

I can't believe they've just cancelled the Epidemic Intelligence Service program at CDC.
My father was an EIS officer:

@Farzad_MD's thread below gives you a sense of the kind of people in this elite program to train the best & brightest epidemiologists.

I think software engineering jobs will shrink by 67% and salaries will get cut by 33% in the next 3 years.
For example, a team of 36 making $300k/yr on average will be outshipped by a team of 12 making $200k/yr on average.
This has happened before—in finance, journalism, and media.
Ultimately, the only way to earn an outsized living in these industries is to take risks and start your own thing.

Re Allow immigrants to create new companies and hire people more easily; not hard to see how net/net you would be increasing job opportunities for those born in the US.
Why are we forcing them to stay at Google?
Even more aggressive?
