Software will be buggier than ever but also way less buggy.

It's going to be 50% less buggy, but we're going to write 10x as much code too.

Good software will be good-er. Bad software will be nightmare fuel.

I think bad software has the possibility of redemption with rewrites and re-engineering efforts. For those of us who are license locked that's probably never going to benefit us :(

bad software will be replacable.

		Bad software, as in stateless programs, doesn't actually matter and never did. They can be replaced trivially. The problem is the real world isn't made of stateless programs, but lots of important data in bespoke formats/schemas, and if you change the shitty software that interacts with the important data, in the wrong way, you can lose everything.

Time-to-fix is lower, but time-to-new-bug is also lower
