An Idea For Software's Industrial Revolution

Posted by Soulskill on Friday September 4, 2015 @03:08AM from the in-addition-to-exploiting-the-workers dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Tech company Code Valley makes the bold claim that a software industrial revolution may be imminent (PDF). They propose shifting developers from the coding domain (current software development practice) to a "design-domain," where the emphasis is no longer on writing code, but on decentralized design – code becomes simply a by-product of this collaboration. In this design-domain, software programs are designed (and built) by a peer-to-peer supply chain of software vendors, each owned and managed by a software engineer. They envisage a global supply-chain of these software experts capable of reliably delivering immensely complex software.

Magical Elves!
It's a whole new paradigm! A new Economy! There's no downside! Etc. etc.
Wrong. It will be low cost Indian programmers, and western women 'programmer' will be doing the design and they will get their implementation back the next morning from India. Because equality. That is right, equality. And if you don't like it, fuck you.
