At some point, you just stop measuring the thing until the thing becomes a problem again. That lets you work a lot faster and make far more software for far less money.

It's the "fast fashion" of software. In the middle ages, a shirt used to cost about what a car does now, and was just as precious. Now, most people can just throw away clothes they no longer like.

Shirts used to be expensive, but "nice clothes" expensive in today's money, not "1st/2nd most expensive thing most people own" type expensive. $200-$1000 in today's money, scaling to wages.
