LLMs enable a new era of extensible software by lowering the cost of authoring user extensions
“My hypothesis is that there is a new opportunity for Extensible Software on the web. LLMs radically lower the cost of authoring extensions, and modern sandbox primitives lower the deployment cost and provide good security boundaries.”
Developer Jeremy Morrell argues that LLMs dramatically reduce the cost of writing software extensions while modern sandboxing primitives make deployment safe, creating a new opportunity for user-extensible web applications. The thesis reframes LLMs not as replacements for software but as enablers of a plugin/extension ecosystem at scale. This is a pragmatic engineering framing with implications for how SaaS products might evolve their customization layers.
