You might be ignoring the productivity gains in software dev over the last 10 years.

With open-source, languages like go/rust, excellent IDEs and basically free compute, the amount that a single developer can produce is 10x/20x more.

This is pure hogwash. All that productivity and more has been available for two decades with Java and C#. It's just that hipsters rejected it wholesale because those are their parents' programming languages.

Tell me about it.

I write in Swift. I love it.

I started with Machine Code (not ASM -Machine Code).

Also, all those lovely system frameworks are wonderful.

I used to use MacApp (Google it), and PowerPlant (Same).

AppKit and UIKit knock them into a cocked hat. SwiftUI shows promise, but it may be a year or two before it can really match the standards.
