something that is very exciting and also concerning to me is that i think the current importance of frameworks and tools is going to go away maybe it will just shift, but, like, a lot of frameworks are developed to save devs time and energy, but the tradeoff is usually that they come with opinions but if you can spin up a bespoke solution that has perfect alignment with the opinions of your product, then what's the advantage? which i think means that software development will shift very heavily to become business solution development. there will be no reason to build tools for tools' sake anymore does this mean that software platforms are dead if they're not bespoke enough and the cost of developing an alternative is the same as paying for Salesforce? i'm also worried about "open source rot", as package maintenance becomes unattractive eg. i went looking for a speech-to-text utility last night and found a dozen, half of which hadn't been updated in a year, and a handful of which felt like trash garbage
