One of the points I see most overlooked in analyses of the software job market is that our opprtunities from our work product are accretive: the demand for our work grows not only as a function of the dollar demand to computerize traditional markets, but also as a function of the new markets created from more powerful and flexible software itself, especially a la carte SaaS offerings, which lower the infrastructure barrier to build new companies, and hardware platforms with friendly developer APIs that create a myriad of untapped opportunities around just what a computer is and can be. In addition, public expectations themselves for what good computer technology should consist of rise ever higher in this feedback loop, and the quality bar isn't getting simpler.
