Reminds me of the dream of the Lisp-o-sphere : where anything and everything (and its source) is at your fingertips and editable at your whim (this is what RMS wanted to do with GNU).
There's also a story about Emacs at Amazon, where secretaries would code up elaborate things to automate their stuff. It tells you how silly our world is : we're happy with shitty uninteractive systems, languages and OSs, only so that we can fix it with the next version of "genius" AI systems which can barely do anything more than remove pain of dealing with the insane bloat.
