This conference talk explores the relationship between libre design tools and the software development environments used to create them. Examine how coding environments have remained largely unchanged despite exponentially increasing software complexity, creating a dangerous disconnect between cause and effect in software development. The speaker discusses how this disconnect leads to bugs that can range from minor inconveniences to fatal errors. Drawing inspiration from a 2017 article in The Atlantic, the talk investigates whether concerns about a "software apocalypse" are hyperbole or reality, especially considering developments like AI since the talk was originally proposed for LGM 2020. Discover ongoing experiments in user interaction, liveness, and design within open-source tools that aim to revolutionize coding practices. While not claiming to have definitive answers, the presentation invites reflection on how the libre design community might help address fundamental problems in software development.
