@Wujizhuzhu Where's the wisdom come from? from a book and some stories. It's important to read and think and summarize. Good book can give more wisdom.
“Everything is a plugin” should not mean endless plugins.
A real capability needs an interface, an implementation, a consumer, a lifecycle, and a safety boundary.
The goal is not maximum flexibility.
It is knowing what can change, what must stay reliable, and who owns the action.
DeepSeek Harness says “everything is a plugin.” So did Eclipse and VS Code.
But there’s a difference.
They extend a stable IDE core.
DeepSeek Harness makes models, tools, memory, approvals, and sandbox part of the agent.
This is not extensibility. It’s agent composition.
That changes the architecture.
An IDE has a stable center and extensible edges.
An agent’s center is still being designed.
Its behavior depends on choices that used to feel like infrastructure details: model, memory, tools, sandbox, approvals, and subagents.
AI makes implementation cheaper. What should open-source tools charge for?
Not locked features—or safety.
Keep the core transparent and agent-callable. Charge for less complexity, clear risk, recovery, and maintenance.
Actions get cheaper. Reliable judgment gets more valuable.
Pain Defines Your Clear Self-Boundary
The deep truth is that pain is not an accident. It is the sound of your inner self—the core of who you are—resisting change.
