I love the rag-tag optimism & grit in SF tech, but enough yokes have been slipped over its shoulders that there are very few directions it can still pull. It can grab talent incubated elsewhere, it can take advantage of special knowledge, but it (mostly) cannot experiment anymore https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1119342163026821120 …

I think you also do see a qualitative difference in creativity with better tools. Think ipad+pencil vs MS paint. I hate to even go down this line of thinking because I completely agree housing is killing SF. Maybe I want to just inject some small dose of optimism :P

Agree 100% that "free" capacity has accumulated across the board for devs & that better tools can enable qualitatively different output (though I'm not sure drawing tools are a great example). I'm taking issue specifically with the "2 devs are as good as 5" claim

Yes, that’s fair enough. Although I can also see the other side of the coin where an entire project is brought to life via the creativity of just one brilliant person. Now that creative person needs a lot less help with the busywork.
