"In the five years since writing that, I’ve watched so many apps — most of the apps!! — mutate before my eyes. Sharp sparkles of AI now lodge them­selves in everything, a mist of invitation. [...]
Meanwhile, my little home-cooked apps each do the one thing they are sup­posed to do, sparkle-free. These apps are sub­stan­tially fin­ished the day I “launch” them, and, unlike modern com­mer­cial software, they are allowed to just: be fin­ished."
