Comment on A Unix Manifesto for the Age of AI

Comments

Author here. AI as pipe, not platform. toast is sed with a brain — reads stdin, writes stdout, honors the Unix contract. We're rewriting the command line around that idea, one tool at a time.

Generation is cheap now. Review is not. The skill that can't be automated is the stopping condition. Knowing what should not exist.

The market wants agents. Agents don't work. A pipe does. If this resonates and you build this way, I'd like to talk.
