I crave more reliable software more than I do software that is infinitely customizable.

Spinning jennys are neat but if theyd been invented in a world where use of star trek replicators was routine I think theyd be more curiosity than revolutionary.

"Artisanal code" would definitely die off if the cp command didnt work perfectly or cost thousands of dollars to run but it doesnt hence why the metaphor is at best mistaken (and at worst dishonest, e.g. when frontier labs are desperately pushing it).

And, the flip side is that artisanal clothes would probably make a huge comeback if star trek replicators were invented and nobody would want cheap sweatshop made crap any more. Why would you when handmade Gucci silk clothing could be yours for a couple of bucks?
