I deduce that investment in software engineers == higher stock price.

Easy to do when you cherry-pick three companies.

Run your analysis on 10,000 companies large and small and you might have something.

> Easy to do when you cherry-pick three companies.

* Netflix vs Blockbuster

* Uber / Lyft vs taxi cabs

* Airbnb vs hotels

* Blogs vs print media

* Youtube /Instagram vs TV

* porn tube sites vs porn studios

I could keep going.

I've also tried the corollary - companies that are successful while cutting cost in tech, but I can't think of any successful companies that are cutting investment in tech.

I wonder if we looked at stock price / developers.

Would it prove or disprove this statemenet?
