I look at this and I feel the reverse: what do the wealthy bring to the table now?
previously we had to work for them cause anything worth doing that could become a business needed a bigger team. now, a developer doesn’t need anybody above him to make stuff, and can potentially work on doing things they find valuable which imo something we always strived to but couldn’t afford to. in my mind, it’s really about ideas and execution now. and execution i bet a developer who wants to make something can do better than anybody higher up the chain for the forseeable future.
sure there’s things you still need investment and a physical presence for. but i reckon there is money and careers to be made in purely software based businesses still, and i think that value will mostly be captured by individuals and small teams moving forward.
