Let's, for an argument sake, believe that what Goldman Sachs does is hideous, counter-productive horseshit. Following that, let's outlaw the giant, and move all its employees into a more productive force. What do we have? Do we have more minds working on real problems like cure of cancer? I guess not; the probable result is thousands of unemployed programmers. It's a misguided belief that we can solve more problems with more people working towards them, which reeks of the same ideology that Fred Brooks tried to acknowledge in Mythical Man-month, that it's possible to build Software faster by adding more people to the project.

If there is a prevalent sentiment that too many companies are starting up in the valley with nonsensical business models, how can we say with the straight eye that more programmers are needed to be shifted to create even more companies.
