I wonder whether the future of software is like this project, where computer capabilities come in the form of skills that you can (purchase?/rent? to) download and use.

I'm reminded of Factorio.

At first, it's really fun to make your own bases. Eventually, it seems you either lose interest, or you get impatient and copy in others' blueprints. A blueprint is just a plain-ish text representation of a part of a factory, and late game (or creative mode), the robots just build it. All you do is copy and paste it, not much creativity required.
