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.

This kind of describes how open source works, with forks and upstream merges

I agree with this and believe we see this with some systems already… system enhancements requested by one organization are rolled out system wide to all organizations utilizing the system. today the software development organization generally benefits financially from this. do you think this changes as this evolves?

You seen any early signs of this happening already? Or any platforms that seem primed for this kinda evolution?

This more or less describes the project I started in 2014. On reflection, it may have been slightly early! But we now have the means, not least in terms of more advanced distributed ledger tech, and info-centric networking (e.g. IPFS). https://hi-project.org/the-technology/

The is the era of APIs where all this becomes possible. web2 - web3 evolution is mastering software development mechanisms and programming the web. For some of us, it opens up a door to creativeness that was impossible before due to the barrier of entry.

this perspective really resonates phil. we’re witnessing a shift in user expectations, where customization and control over their digital environments are becoming the norm as more users take on a role in shaping their own experiences, it challenges traditional software development models the idea of decentralized innovation, where useful modifications are adopted by others, is an exciting evolution but do you think this will encourage developers to adopt a more modular design approach, or will it create new challenges in maintaining consistency and security across platforms?

Are you talking based on the concepts of different clients on the farcaster protocol ?
