Removing overtime exemptions (across the board, not just for software) seems like a clear winner on many axes.

* Folks working more can have direct immediate compensation for it, vs handwavy promises of maybe future promotions or stock option rewards

* Creates jobs by lowering incentives to just over-work the people you already have

* Spreads out the income tax load by creating more paid labor out of thin air to get the same amount of total work done - better to have that marginal change in the average person's pocketbooks and income tax than tax-sheltered locations for corporations or the highly-wealthy
