I hesitate to fully confirm it a resurgence as if it's going to be an indicator of a trend in greater pop culture. The genre before was just kind of excessively strangling itself of potential sales that were there due to the high capital costs for new entrants and the major developers previously not wanting to field anything else but one major game.
But the audience of this transaction isn't just the microcosm of Trump in the world at large and time at long. Canadian's supporting their government standing on doing things the right way will set the right expectations for others when dealing with them.
For a web app, you might have to unzip it and launch the .html inside. CyberChef for example does offer a downloadable copy of its web app instructing you do just that.
I feel like people will make the wrong comparison with the cost to complete. $165000 should be compared to not the cost of a programmer going line by line by hand but someone designing a transpiler from zig to rust. The time to complete is impressive though, if you could spend $165000 and a year of time to find out the rewrite project worked, or instead spend that in a month, you'd probably take that month now that this proof of concept exists out there.
It would be easy to self justify picking red as 'it's not unethical killing, it's self preservation' but I'd still bet on society being more socially minded than not, for betting otherwise would mean i think society as an idea of togetherness is a total illusion. If choosing red, after, it would be non existent.
Though also to me the experience of life is starkly temporary; dying early or not doesn't really matter to me so i'm not surprised other's emotional conflict varies here. But as a result personally, losing the existence of something unique to experience (togetherness) in preference of something otherwise fleeting, even the self, isn't very interesting to me.
If so, it might be true that in many cases writing code wasn't as big of the story as some people think for some other people in the industry. I imagine there were many people though who toiled by hand a lot of code they didn't need to before for lack of experience or awareness, and so for them this a big increase in speed.
Underneath it all is Wine which is the open source compatibility layer project which Crossover contributes to.
I do wonder the prospects of any etsy-like outcome for largely hand crafted software though. While you can personally find stylistic expression in the craft i'm not sure how apparent the nuances of crafting code is to users of the product beyond the requirements of a UX design and vision. It's hard not to imagine generation industrializing a lot of this part of the craft of making software.
For me I think the important thing to not lose sight as we use generation more and more in software is our care for the work piece. It feels like care, and deep understanding are set up to become further valuable rarities in the future as we become less and less intimately involved and we have to be intentional about in order to keep.
I feel like there is some parallels here to industrial designers and their desire to hold on to obsessing about and understanding the details in the face of using industrialized tooling and being very much removed from the intimate feeling of crafting every millimetre. Deeply caring is still meaningful and valuable even if it isn't minimally required.
But, it may be that the performance of some roles is constrained such that the physical shape or rate and breadth of knowledge utilized isn't advantaged by the benefits of digitalized intelligence, and so would be approximately acting just human anyways. And in that case there may be enough human's available to do it just because they want to, fully fulfilling the demand for it.
