- In the past, engineers rarely wrote personal software due to high costs and low ROI; they used config files and plugins instead.
- AI agents now make personalization easy by automating source code modification, maintenance, and upstream synchronization via prompts.
- Example: integrating meat.dev into the Shelley agent with a single prompt added pre-processing of diffs, saving time and effort.
- Personalized software no longer needs complex plugin systems; agents can directly modify source code for individual needs.
