"The street finds its own uses for things" is getting to be vastly more true than it was! (And happy upcoming 40th birthday to Burning Chrome!!)

I do hope that, even though individual software is not super valuable, that people find broader general systems that help them tie together their many disposable softwares, that their disposable softwares build off of. Just a hope. Seems like quick and dirty is winning, but having more platform underfoot that is reusable and durable and used frequently I think will be powerful. Pi as a self modifying platform is a very lo-fi version of this, is a self extending platform, which is amazing. https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/31/pi/

The suggestion to have APIs for your product to remain relevant in the new world is extremely good. It still requires understanding the API world at least somewhat. I'd complement that suggestion here with a recommendation to try to lean in hard to webmcp, if you really want to help your users to find agentic success. WebMCP allows for contextual exposure of what the user is already seeing on the page, brings much more session context in that APIs typically do. That seamless blending of user experience & API/m2m control is enormously powerful for letting users go at things. https://webmachinelearning.github.io/webmcp/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47037501
