Someone asked me last week if plugin development is dead.
It isn't. But the shape of the work has definitely moved.
A few years ago most of my time went into plugins, JavaScript, custom workflow activities. Making the platform do things it wouldn't do on its own. A fair chunk of that is now either configuration, or an agent action, or Copilot handles it well enough that nobody asks for it any more.
What's replaced it isn't easier, just different. Data modelling matters more than it ever did, because agents inherit whatever mess you left in the schema. Security is back at the centre of every conversation. And a surprising amount of my week goes on explaining what the AI can't do, which is a strange skill to have picked up.
If you're worried about it, here's the thing I'd hold on to: deterministic logic still belongs in plugins. Anything that has to run the same way every single time isn't going anywhere near a model. Agents are for the fuzzy edges. Knowing which side a requirement falls on is the actual job now.
Anyone else seeing their week shift like this?
