There's this thing where all the thought leaders in software engineering ask "What will change about building about building a business when code is free" and while, there are some cool things, I've also thought, like it could have some pretty serious negative externalities? I think this question is going to become big everywhere - business, science, etc. which is like - Ok, you have all this stuff, but do is it valuable? Which of it actually takes away value?
To be fair, the question “what will change” does not presume the changes will be positive. I think it’s the right question to ask, because change is coming whether we like it or not. While we do have agency, there are large forces at play which impact how certain things will play out.
