There are projects that I develop mostly not looking at the code, but owning the concepts, algorithms and ideas asking questions and giving hints, and owning especially the product. But, not for Redis, not yet at least. When in the future this will be possible, server software, the way it is developed today, will be over. I bet there will be still projects and repositories, as accumulation of features, fixes and experiences will still be worth it, but the role of programmers will be very similar to what Linus did so far for the kernel. And for certain projects I'm developing, like the DeepSeek v4 inference engine, I'l already working like that.
