Where we are today in technology means a company like GitHub or Microsoft needs to be as agile as a 10-person startup.

0:05.6

And that is quite hard because we're running a big ship at the speed of a really small boat.

0:10.4

The nature of the software that companies are going to ask for is also going to change.

0:14.7

We will see a commoditization of software that is so simple that recreating that on the fly will replace those SaaS services.

I think software developers are the first class of career where they start their day. it is so simple that recreating that on the fly will replace those SaaS services.

I think software developers are the first class of career where they start their day thinking,
