Our model of software is still like manufactured goods: there's one product released, and everyone gets an identical copy.

I think LLMs will turn software into #houseplants - every user will have a slightly different clone, grow it, kill it, start a new one.

Maintainers don't want LLM code. Too much to review, too little value, merge headache. For users incentive to submit is also low: very slow process, with low chance of success. But an LLM can keep reimplementing their pet feature.
