Summary & Key Takeaways
- Jeremy Morrell proposes a new opportunity for extensible web software.
- LLMs significantly reduce the cost of authoring software extensions.
- Modern sandbox primitives lower deployment costs and enhance security.
- This combination allows users to safely extend applications.
- The core app remains accountable while users gain "superpowers."
Our Commentary
This idea feels like it's been bubbling for a while, but the LLM angle genuinely changes the game. The thought of users just describing an extension and having an agent build it within a secure sandbox is wild. It's a future I'm both excited and slightly terrified by. The implications for user empowerment are huge, but so are the potential complexities.
