Outgrowing Software
I am going to bang on about this again, but imo software is a new form of literacy.  Literacy of employees and customers transform(s/ed) all industries but we don't talk  about the literacy department or literacy investments in corporations.(It's what annoys me about low-code solutions - it's like trying to write your novel by linking pre-drawn cartoon squares together in innovative ways.)You cannot compensate for lack of literacy in a company or society.  Same for software.In short some companies and some societies will be software literate and have time to focus on the next problems as ben talks about here - while others are stuck in the transition period.   But they must go through the transition period - having good answers to "publisher questions" won't help if you don't have good answers to API questionsSoftware skills will remain a wage distinction for some time
