Death of Software. Nah

3 months ago

AI changes what we build and who builds it, but not the quantity of software needed.
Historical tech transitions (PCs, retail, media) show that predictions of disruption often underestimate timelines and overestimate the demise of existing systems.
The PC era saw unexpected growth in both PCs and data centers, with CLI remaining foundational despite GUI advancements.
Retail evolved with omnichannel strategies, proving that physical and digital retail can coexist and thrive.
Media underwent multiple transformations, from digital disruption to streaming, resulting in more content and new business models.
AI will lead to more software, not less, as demand for digital solutions continues to grow across all domains.
Domain expertise will become more critical as industries become more sophisticated with AI tools.
Some companies will fail, but many will adapt, and new ones will emerge, continuing the cycle of creative destruction.
