If you're interested in hiring through the Diff network, please reach out. Reader FeedbackIn last week's Longreads, Calvin McCarter asks how much of US's tech industry dominance is driven by demand rather than supply:
This is a great question. And as some of the examples show, it has feedback loops: we have lots of demand for enterprise software because the kind of company that probably spends the most of its incremental revenue on additional enterprise software is other enterprise software companies: every new sales representative means a new Salesforce, Docusign, and Zoom license, not to mention more Uber/Lyft and Brex/Ramp spending. This is a point raised more than once in The Power Law: once an investment category has been established as hot, there's more money in figuring out what new categories will emerge as a consequence.
