... which I'm very skeptical about. In what sense does the world "need" more software?
What exactly is it that "the world" really needs this additional software for, and is it really software that's missing, or can the same need be fulfilled via other means (e.g. better software, or improved processes)?
And to follow-up on that, if the world does need "more software", is there some level of software that is sufficient? I.e. is there a steady state of software/world, or at least, software/person, or are we "maximizing paperclips"?
