@iximiuz We already border on personal, customized software, apps... You can easily picknthe 3 feature you use and have your own... Get the prompt for the app, pick the features you want... Done. Almost.
claude code plugins: you write a prompt and hope the LLM calls the right MCP tool
opencode plugins: config maps command to the tool. runs immediately. no inference, no ambiguity
one is portable, the other is reliable.

If you are a software engineer "experiencing some degree of mental health crisis", now hear this, because I've been coding for 50 years since the days of punched cards and I have a salutary kick in your ass to deliver.
Get over yourself. Every previous "programming is obsolete" panic has been a bust, and this one's going to be too.
The fundamental problem of mismatch between the intentions in human minds and the specifications that a computer can interpret hasn't gone away just because now you can do a lot of your programming in natural language to an LLM.
Systems are still complicated. This shit is still difficult. The need for people who specialize in bridging that gap isn't going to go away.
As usual, the answer is: upskill yourself and adapt. If a crusty old fart like me can do it, you can too.
The more I have AI agents write all my code, the more I feel that us devs will be alright (and possibly more in-demand for important stuff)
Hard for me to imagine anyone building *reliable* software without an understanding of how to do this (either via experience or study)
@rakyll Did something similar and it really is insane. It's not gonna be one hour but give it a few of weeks... https://t.co/OP2hho3v9l ... You do have to massage it a bit but it would take a team 18 months and you still wouldn't touch on everything...
