I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

我一直都想在 2025 年结束前把我断断续续开发并一直在用的一个玩具项目 Alma 给发布出来，简单来说它就是为你准备的另一个 AI Chat App 选择，但是我加了一点我的喜好，比如我一直都很喜欢的 ChatGPT 的内置记忆等等，虽然它只是我个人使用的还有很多不足的玩具项目，但今天是它跟大家见面的日子，开心
