To the article's point, I built my own version of your agro tool that I use to manage my own git worktrees. Even if I had known about your project, I still would have built my own, because if I build it (with LLM assistance, obvs) then I get to design it for myself.
Looking at other industries, music production is probably the one to look at. What was once the purview of record labels with recording studios that cost a million dollars to outfit, is now a used MacBook and, like, $1,000 of hardware/software. The music industry has changed, dramatically, as a result of the march of technology, and thus so will software. So writing software will go the way of the musician. What used to be a middle class job as a trumpet player in NYC before the advent of records, is now only a hobby except for the truely elite level practicioners.
