If the original phrase was true and the market for software was saturated, the point would be that more productive people would outcompete you out of your job. The correct answer is to either get the most productivity possible so you’ll end up a little richer, or switch careers.
But both the original phrase is a lie and the market for software is nowhere close saturation.
The market for regular food was completely saturated before fast food and highly processed food entered that market. The shittiest chefs weren’t outcompeted by the best chefs. The market for regular food shrank a little perhaps, but the total market might have tripled in size. No one had expected back then that a) people would get this fat on average and b) that there would be this many people alive. I agree with your conclusion but it’s naive to believe you see the future because you understand the past.
What’s the point then?
