I am on the model layer and focus on atomic tasks, so I don't get involved in product discussions. But this provocative article provoked the community quite a bit. The case in point is Claude Code, which happens to be my biggest productivity revolution since ChatGPT.

RAG predated TUI and agents. So to be fair it's quite an achievement to survive the AI evolution. But I feel it is overshadowed by context engineering in the agent era. How does everyone feel about this?

Added to my reading list, but commenting to say that I feel validated by this observation: "The case in point is Claude Code, which happens to be my biggest productivity revolution since ChatGPT."

+1. I'm struggling to wrap my head around why a humble CLI feels like such an unexpected "win." I think it's tool consolidation: I can provide context (and everything) as little globs of markdown files and not have to worry about environments, vectors, etc. Is that agreeing with the author?

That is the case.

I'm a developer at heart. As a developer, majority of your time is spent running things and hop around environments, e.g. IDE, Cloud, Github. These environments all happen to have full featured bash support, a perfect sandbox for the CLI form factor.

The paradigm change AI brought to the developer world is nothing short of meteoric, but also an exception. Lots of efforts try to generalize the momentum to the next area(s). I won't bet on them.
