That's going to be a difficult business in this age unless you have some uniquely strong ideas and products.

I'm not convinced that is true. The JCB digger didn't put groundworkers out of business. A consultant that can get more done in a day is worth a lot more than one who can't. There is still skill required in wielding the tool of the day and that skill is marketable.

  • Sorry, I don't think your non-software analogy that existed before 2025 helps at all in this specific topic about software consultancy.

    • Meanwhile, people are in fact making actual money solving problems for others by building use-case-specific solutions. Perhaps you’re unaware of them, but they do exist. They prefer to operate off the radar.
