Themes & Insights

Plugin-First Development Strategy

Today's discussions revealed a strategic shift toward plugin-based architecture for managing development templates and dependencies. This approach promises to solve the challenge of maintaining consistency across multiple projects while enabling dynamic skill management.

Validation of Technology Choices

The successful TanStack Start migration and Vite wizard experience validates previous framework evaluation discussions. The team's preference for Vite-based tooling over NextJS is proving practical and beneficial.

Centralized vs. Distributed Architecture

The plugin marketplace concept represents a move toward centralized skill management while maintaining distributed project autonomy - a sophisticated approach to scaling development workflows.
