Hi, I was wondering how the figma acquisition is going. I see the team is still releasing new features but I haven’t heard anything from Figma on what their intent is with Payload CMS. Anyone from the team want to update us on what’s happening? What figmas intention is with payload CMS?
I have been thinking about this question a lot. I am bullish on the idea that all this hardware investment will lead to one of the largest software booms we will see in our lifetime. I’m just not sure how it will play out. I assume the mega cap companies will continue to rule a majority of the software industry. However, I’m not sure what software jobs will look like in the future. AI can’t do a lot of the judgement.
My question is do you think there will be a software boom? Do you think the mega cap companies like Google, AWS, Microsoft among others will just consume all this work? Or will it be a mix of small business and elite consultancy teams working with industry to revolutionize the economy with AI? Or do you think AI will just become so good that it writes all the software, solves all problems, and openAI or Anthropic just swallow the whole business and crush the local LLM model?
Open for discussion, not a doomer, I’m pretty optimistic about the future
