He is quoting from 2010 and predicts the very opposite and I fully support the claim. Reasons:

  * industry has either no interest or capacity in quality
  * software flaws may cause severe harm but will play no role for the majority of the industry. it is a gamble just like vc business.
  * pace of change/inonnovation will actually add even more harm
  * excellence in the field will decrease because the baseline compexity is already too high, people will specialize probably in ML/AI/fin.

One chance I see is that the industry runs into a major HR crisis and some smart players understand that the complexity cannot be maintained by "developers" or "software engineers" anymore and come up with solutions other than opening up more positions.
