alt Hacker NewsI think we have enough anecdata that users don’t like a changing interface. They like keeping things the same, mostly.
So how can you keep generating disposable software on this layer?
And what you mostly want to change in software, is new features or handle more usage. If you do that, it needs in most cases changes to the data store and the “hand crafted core”.
So what part in practice will be disposable and how often will it be “generated again”?
Maybe for simple small stuff, like how fast Excel sheets are being made, changed and discarded? Maybe for embedded software?

I think embedded software would be like the anti-case for OP's idea. It's a resource-constrained environment, and you also cannot upgrade things easily, so the "replaceable" parts of the software become nothing.
Doesn't seem to translate into not constantly changing UIs over and over and over again, unfortunately

Well... If your "users" are paying customers of a XaaS Subscription service, then there's propably little need and/or room for disposable UI.
But if you're doing something for internal processes with maybe 2-3 users at max, then you might want to do something that does not result in launching an under-budgeted project that could be a full blown SaaS project on its own.
