"Why isn't there someone disrupting software development paying experienced people like me a low salary for 20-30 hours a week? I'd still get over half as much done as I do working 50 hours a week, I'm sure."
That's what I do. I started out freelancing and eventually I found a client who eventually needed buy all my available time. 30/h a week, at a salary that feeds me fine.
For reference, I do PHP and linux admin for WordPress and some linux admin work. It's not super fun, but I work for a tiny company and have to look at all parts of a bunch of rando tech stacks (like, moodle, drupal, java applications, mail servers, etc and everything from firewalls to CSS for IE10).
It doesn't "scale". So there there is nothing to "disrupt". I just work with a couple of smart people who do good work, and if we tied to make the business grow substantially we'd probably just work more for the same amount of money, so we are just really selective about what jobs we take. I think. I don't have a great analysis of what makes it work cause I am in the middle of it.
