> 1. Meet the ever-growing demand for software

The growth won't last forever. At least not at this pace.

How many companies write the same bits of software as everyone else, destined to throw them away after a year or two? How much of that waste is driven by continuous churn of frameworks? How much of that software itself is pointless, powering businesses that should never be?

I'm thinking of OP's prediction:

> - Rising interest rates will push investment mass away from startups and into the other end of the spectrum: good old bonds and other fixed-rate assets.

If that were to happen, I wonder what it'll do to the "ever-growing demand for software".
