&gt; This type of progression in software development is inevitable. Groups of people writing individual lines of code for bespoke apps will one day go the same way looms in factories went after the industrial revolution.
&gt; I run a software company, and we&#x27;ve actually moved away from fixed price projects and only provide development on a day rate. Fixed price&#x2F;scope&#x2F;timescale projects are incredibly risky, require massive amounts of project management resource, and can be insanely unprofitable if the specifications for the work are not watertight and the client isn&#x27;t managed well.<p>These two sentences don&#x27;t seem to make sense. On the one hand, you say it&#x27;s inevitable. On the other hand, as someone who has RUN a software company, you say you couldn&#x27;t figure it out. Is that correct?
