Not convinced this is an authentic human story rather than LLM-generated marketing blogspam, but if it is real, it's rather sad. All this mention of discovering CLI tools, tools, tools, configuration, configuration, configuration, AI, AI, AI. Not one mention of programming. You know you can program your computer to do what you want it to do? You don't have to scour "Github Trending like a madman, looking for the next thing that would make [you] more productive". You can just write the code that will make you more productive.

lul what? As a linux fanboy who "speaks unix" (presumably, do I? not sure...). I find it humorous that we have gone full circle. The newest tech shit is recommending I learn almost 50 year old technology? Time for me to log off.

It's even worse, you can learn 2000+ years old math on Youtube.

Lets assume this real - for humans these condensed tools make sense. For an agent I'd argue it takes him more tokens to understand these condensed infos since he most probably knows the right tools anyways and does not need the shortcuts.
