This touches on the very very obvious tension here that I think needs to be understood and stated more clearly: Software, in theory, is frictionlessly infinitely reproducible. We now know that there are quite a few 10x, 100x, 1000x programmers out there, and yet a lot of people still getting paid to write code, which is probably a massive waste of time. I'm not sure how we get to collectively recognizing this inefficiency, but something to try would be "more liability (some liability? like any liability at all?) for bad/harmful software.
