I see it continue long past the point where 'we needed to ship something to be able to eat next month', to the point where people handicap themselves for the next 5 years in a mature business to release a feature a month faster even though they've got 3 years of runway and ample revenue.
Also, hyperbolic discounting is explicitly not exponential in the way you might account for the future availability of resources (even at a very high exponential rate), it's valuing things on a different curve in the future than the present: would you rather have five dollars today or ten dollars next month, vs would you rather have five dollars a year from now or ten dollars a year and a month from now. People will say five dollars today, but ten dollars a year and a month from now, even though under rational analysis they should come out exactly the same.
