Abstractions were priced for human programmers — a thousand agents break that logic

The author argues software abstractions (DRY, naming, layers) were priced for expensive human hours.

He also urges: stop embedding chatbots in apps — users bring their own agents, so expose a CLI instead. "An app without a CLI is a room the butler can't enter."
