The author is spot on about the paradigm change of software as a lifeform. Living things provide us with genuine interactions and experiences of learning and growing, without forcing us to understand the code - You can learn to work with animals and plants without understanding their genetics at all. I believe this is how our relationship with software must develop, and in order to get there, we'll need to learn to design and develop software in a completely new way. I've been testing this hypothesis in my spare time, hacking together a server-browser system I call Mycelium. It's a bit like OpenClaw, except you can use it to create private local Webs, and print custom 2D Electron browsers to view and work in these webs.

Interesting, could you share a link? (Your submissions appear to have been nuked.)

Yes, you found it. Blancs is the browser prototype for non-technical users, but the full system, Mycelium, I'm currently working on towards demos and distribution. I'll be sure to update the YT channel, if you want to follow the progress. I'm also on Twitter @livingsoft_
