MAKE SOFTWARE SIMPLE AGAIN

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The software industry is more driven by profit and unnecessary complexity than by the ability to build and launch innovative products. Companies can save a lot of money by leaving the cloud. The old pricing model where users pay once for software rather than through monthly subscriptions can be very appealing to customers, but it makes it more difficult to scale a company if customers only pay once. A lower bar to entry for solo developers and small teams will allow more ideas to get the opportunity to prosper.
