The web showed the power of copyable data.

You can just fork and remix.

The rate of innovation goes up because the cost of remixing drops precipitously.

Just copy the bits at full fidelity, instantaneously, and effectively for free, then tweak.

Why hasn't this happened for software yet?

Software, after all, is just a specific category of data with special semantics.

Software didn't benefit from remixing before because it's expensive to create, and often resides on servers you can't see.

But also, because software is dangerous.

You can't just run some rando's software on your data safely.

What if we could get the power of remixing on software, too?
