Frameworks should be built for AI agents, not humans: the case for rigor over taste

The author argues software is having its Industrial Revolution: today's frameworks like React/Solid cater to human taste and skill limits, while the AI era demands rigor.
- foldkit example: its command+event state machines and story/scene testing enable things React/Solid can't do consistently — verbose for humans, a substantial gain for agentic coding
- Since AI solves "slightly harder" tasks in minutes, picking frameworks by human preference no longer matters; choose the rigorous, scalable option
- Predicts mainstream adoption of: state machines, functional programming, declarative infra, TDD, DDD, actor systems, strict API schemas, type safety/formal verification, disciplined operations
- His Alchemy framework aims to unify these as "rails and parts" of the AI software assembly line
