Ok, but to continue this analogy, industrialization and the ability to create 1000 frozen lasagnas a second had an enormous impact on the world. Not only on the economics of production, but ultimately on human society.

Sure, handmade lasagna still exists, but the world looks nothing like it did 200 years ago.

Heh, most cooking these days is like using libraries to build an application.

I don't slaughter an animal, I buy a cut of meat.

It's very rare I make pasta, I rehydrate dried husks.

The cheese comes in some kind of jar or package. The vegetables come from a store.

This has been the general move in applications too. I see companies with very large programs that are just huge sets of node modules joined together with a small amount of code.
