Are developers more productive as a result?

There is an interesting concept in economics called the Jevons Paradox. It occurs when technological progress increases the efficiency of which a resource is consumed, but that the consumption of that resource rises due to increasing demand. It oddly implies that the cause of increased demand is correlated to our efforts to increase efficiency.

As the data per developer increases, Jevons Paradox implies that the demand for that data increases equivalently.
