Tariffs' Effect on Software Export and Consulting


With the February 1, 2025 tariffs coming, how will they affect software exports and coding consultancy work?

Same thing that happens always when prices go up

* Poor people stay poor

* Middle class complains but is largely unaffected minus not being able to buy a new iphone every year

* Upper class doesn't give a fuck.

Who cares

There won't even be a government in 4 weeks

Just Elon and his "hand gestures"

Snarky comments I’m seeing here aside, this merits serious discussion. Does this affect software sales, in-app purchases, services? A lot of us with a lot hanging on the line right now.
