alt Hacker NewsHmm, I'm not sure I see the value in "disposable software". In any commercial service people are looking for software solutions that are durable, dependable, extensible, maintainable. This is the exact opposite of disposable software.
The whole premise of AI bringing democratization to software development and letting any layperson produce software signals a gross misunderstanding of how software development works and the requirements it should fulfill.

Yes, software needs to be secure. If we accept the premise that software is going to be churned out in bulk, then the mechanisms for securing software must evolve rapidly... I don't see a world where there is custom software for everything but all insecure in different ways.

I play several sports across several teams and leagues. Each league has their own system for delivering fixtures. Each team has its own system of communication.
What I want is software that can glue these things together. Each week, announce the fixture and poll the team to see who will play.
So far, the complete fragmentation of all these markets (fixtures, chat) has made software solutions uneconomic. Any solution's sales market is necessarily limited to a small handful of teams, and will quickly become outdated as fixtures move and teams evolve.
I'm hopeful AI will let software solve problems like this, where disposable code is exactly what's needed.
