This mainly relates to non-scalable industries where everything depends on simply reproducible labor not requiring a lot of training - like yes, barbershops, or real estate. I think it&#x27;s more of good than bad - it prevents flocking of people into these industries resulting in cutthroat competition, low quality, and desperation of everyone involved. People simply find some other better trades instead.<p>Sometimes i feel like something like that must be introduced into software development, too: too many random people here, trying to compete only in price. It doesn&#x27;t work of course, savvy clients see the real picture, but it drops the shadow on the industry in general, like people don&#x27;t want to learn now to code out of the fear of having to compete with $5 an hour Indians.
