Something I noticed is that as the threshold for doing something like "write software to do X" decreases, the tendency for people to go search for an existing product and download it tends to zero.
There is a point where in some sense it is less effort to just write the thing yourself. This is the argument against micro-libraries as seen in NPM as well, but my point is that the threshold of complexity for "write it yourself" instead of reaching for a premade thing changes over time.
As languages, compilers, tab-complete, refactoring, and AI assistance get better and better, eventually we'll reach a point where the human race as a whole will be spitting out code at an unimaginable rate.
