mvanhorn argues software isn't dead but being learned: Reverse Engineer Anything hit 100,000 GitHub stars in one week — point an agent at an app and it explains how a feature works, then builds your version. Every big lab release gets replicated within weeks. matchaman11 adds that open source will kill subscriptions: Photoshop, Notion, Airtable and Firebase all have open-source equivalents, as the deconstruct-remix-reconstruct loop accelerates.
