If it turns out that AI isn't much more productive, it could also turn out that people still believe it is, and therefore don't value software companies.
If that happens, some software companies will struggle to find funding and collapse, and people who might consider starting a software company will do something else, too.
Ultimately that could mean less competition for the same pot of money.
I wonder.
I left software about 10 years ago for this reason. I saw engineers being undervalued, management barriers to productivity and higher compensation possibilities for non-tech functions.
How do you feel about this in retrospect? Those observations sound heavily firm-dependent, but I would be interested in learning which non-tech functions offer higher compensation possibilities
