I think software is about to become disposable and that’s uncharted territory. Furniture used to be carefully handcrafted and was meant to be passed on for generations. Now that’s a bit of a quaint idea and you probably don’t want your parents’ old couch. There’s a good chance it came flat packed and you assembled it yourself. At work there’s constant nail biting over generating low-quality code. I can’t help but wonder, why reuse any of it? What do you need libraries for? If it’s not hard to specify, it’s practically free to produce now.
