Is software really worth that much? I mean, its intrinsic value to society? It's normally used as the backdrop to a business process, wasting time or sharing cat pics, or some such thing, but really, a $51Billion valuation?
Why can't we put a clamp on the problem of every random developer thinking they've created something that lasts a few minutes and has more value than most small countries make in a year?
The entire system of copyright and software licensing needs to be abolished, and any software that is written instantly becomes the public domain. This would do away with many industries that serve almost no purpose for society, other than to attempt to extract value where no value has been created.
The conventional way for developers to make money should come from becoming thought leaders on Twitter or maybe playing a few shows down at the bar.
