There isn't an endless supply of features waiting to be built and money waiting at the door to pay for them. Do we really think that the only thing keeping them from being the biggest company on earth is their shortage of developer talent?

So you really believe that we arrived to the end of software? It's obvious that a competitor could create a better software (if that was possible with AI).

No that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that demand (for a product or service) is what drives the amount of labor that is performed, not the other way around.

If a company has maxed out the amount of widgets the can sell in their market and adding new features will not change that, then adding more labor makes no sense.

It follows that making their existing labor more productive leads to layoffs.
