Software Becomes the Biggest Cost
The next collapsing tech cost is software itself Computation costs (logarithmic scale) Software Engineers Storage ($/mb) Bandwidth ($/MBPS) CPU ($/MFLOP) $100,000 $1,000 $10 $0.10 Forecast 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 Source: SK Ventures
A chart compares the falling costs of storage, bandwidth, and CPU computation with the rising cost of software engineers. The joke is that as physical computing resources become dramatically cheaper, human software development becomes the next technology cost expected to collapse. It is shared as a reaction to discussions about AI replacing or radically reducing the cost of programming.
