Coining this phrase now: "It's the tokens stupid"

Hooking up to and generating calls across filesystem APIs cost multiple orders of magnitude more than calling `ls`. These tooling ideas are interesting, though. Maybe Kenneth_E._Iverson was right all along?

Talking to another senior dev over drinks tonight, we both worried not about our work but about who might come up never having written a single line of code. Never even opened a terminal. Is looking at the code something you learn in semester 5?

I think computer science education is going to stomp onward, poorly. And we will get that generation. And things like "terminal tooling is going out of style" won't even be said any more. Hacker groups will turn from discussions about new ideas to talking about doing leetcode without AI.

Our art died because we used our art to kill it. We are the last human masters.

That's a funny thing to think about.

I don't think you understood what the idea was. Its not about calling `ls` vs not. I don't think UNIX commands are going away (or at least deterministic calls).

Its the interface itself that would go away. We won't work on terminals but some other interface which would use commands internally.

Yeah, in the future we will mourn the loss of the art of creating a new JS framework every week.
