    How does that apply to things like computers? My personal PC can also double up as a server from which I run the applications that I sell to people. The PC is the means of production, and it is mine, but I don’t necessarily write all the code myself.

      I’m not sure!

      I’d guess maybe the code would be open source, or at least freely shared among everyone who works on it. Then anyone can use their personal computer for the code, like anyone could use their personal guitar to play a song you wrote.

      The computer can then remain personal, and the code itself is treated like the means of production that is collectively owned
