Hmm? It sounds to me like there is a lot of generosity- Take Two poaching a lot of engineers, offering them nice bonuses. The employees are the ones winning in this story

> Why trust a model if you can do a serology study instead?

Because studies require a lot more time and money, while a model is just on a computer and can be constantly and quickly updated as things change?

> Some people never do research again after completing a Ph.D. For such people, the Ph.D. was largely a waste of time.

This statement reflects the writers' large ego, not reality. It's a shame how this point of view is prominent in the scientific community. I've seen similar rude statements from academic scientists who say that working in R&D at a corporation isn't "real science".

> What's special about the software economy is that people who write the software take home a large fraction of it

I don't think this is true. Take all the non-tech companies that rely on software and hire tons of engineers, such as insurance and banking.
