In the midst of its own revolution, bitcoin triggers another
Tech company Code Valley makes the compelling claim that the conditions for a software-revolution can be met (whitepaper). They propose shifting developers from the 'code-domain' (current software development practices) to a 'design-domain,' where independent, developer-owned vendors make 'design-contributions,' and also show how code simply becomes a by-product of this decentralised collaboration.
The 'design-domain,' they argue, has the crucial elements necessary for such a revolution (elements the 'code-domain' lacks); strong accountability, feasible specialisation, acute competition, and most importantly, scalable complexity. The incorporation of Bitcoin allows this technology to go global.
They envisage a supply-chain spanning the globe, powered by its bitcoin-fuelled vendors, capable of reliably delivering immensely complex software.
