the perspective that software is good because it's soft- as in malleable- is nice to hear.
i too feel like the more open-potential endlessly extensible form of computing is what's interesting & compelling. it's ehy computing appealed to me & still is. contrasting to computing as mechanization, big systems, & mass market software, where focus is on control & usually core, well planned user flows. this is boring rigidware. yet it's share of computing has radically risen. good to hear of syccessful flexible software in the world.
