That said, I think all of this reveals some really important desires and needs in software development:
- People want tools that are more interactive and also more independent. Something that can do more per interaction means you can focus on higher level concerns
- There is an opportunity here to bring coding to more people, to make it more accessible. Conversational approaches to coding could be beneficial.
We can do the above without theft now that the shape is clearer.

@soph@grrl.me Re theft, I'm just at the beginning of learning about models developed with a care to the inputs, like this one: "Compliant Apertus is trained while respecting opt-out consent of data owners (even retrospectivey), and avoiding memorization of training data" https://huggingface.co/swiss-ai/Apertus-8B-Instruct-2509 Re higher new kinds of development, this helped me accept a future with both development as we've known it, and the newer kinds of development AIs (LLMS + these new 'harnesses') enable. https://www.caimito.net/en/blog/2025/12/07/the-recurring-dream-of-replacing-developers.html
