What would be "discovered" exactly? You can't patent a basic CRUD application.

There has to be an analogy to music or something here - except that code is even less copyrightable than melodies.

Yes, there might be some specific algorithms that are patented, but the average programmer won't be implementing any of those from scratch, they'll use libraries anyway.
