What I mean: Most of the software named by that project is made by individuals who make software in their speed, aiming towards their goals regarding quality and visual appeal and setting their price for it. And they differ strongly from what big companies do and what they aim at. The gap wasn't as big in 2005 and 2010, but it became bigger and bigger since 2015 and 2020. LLM vibe coding just is the ultimate result of this development. You still can do differently.

I was a fan of artisanal software craftmanship before the GenAI boom.

Current LLM development strengthens my point of view. You may buy plastic water toys as much as you like. But nothing beats the beauty of a handmade wooden boat.

Had to say that.

More serious comment: What's really great about that #Amiga / #MorphOS community is that there are a lot of software "authors", like, single persons writing serious, usable apps and maintaining them for years.
Yes, sometimes you need to pay for apps - maybe there's a relation? 😉
We'd need way more of that on #Linux, and it's a pity @elementary isn't succeeding offering paid apps on its #AppCenter yet.
It could be the best of what you'd call #artisanalSoftware -
Impressive how software design decisions and crafting skills make such a difference.
While I don't know exact reasons (having some guesses though) I find it challenging to dig into underlying roots and learn from that. -
