It now seems obvious that the current era of software, where everyone uses the same version of an app, is going to end. Our current model of software development is highly bespoke, requiring a single team to focus their entire resources on creating a generalized experience that works for everyone. This was a natural result of the bottlenecks around software and design talent inside of companies. A bottleneck that is now disappearing as users gain the ability to modify interfaces themselves. In the near future, users will expect and demand the ability to modify their app while accessing the same underlying data. This will start first on open networks but eventually transition to all interfaces. Most users won't make major changes. But some will, and those changes will be pushed upstream and fanned out to others if they are useful. This change will massively increase the speed of iteration and complete a darwinian process as new mutations emerge and propagate across the network.

The era of standardized software is coming to an end as users gain the ability to customize their own interfaces. This will drive faster iteration and innovation
