Author here. I own LinuxToaster and wrote this after getting frustrated with every AI tool asking me to move into its interface.
The short version: Unix survived 40 years because small tools compose. Most AI products are doing the opposite — building walls. I think that's a mistake, and I tried to explain why with some concrete examples from tools we've built.
Curious whether others feel the same friction, or whether I'm just a grumpy Unix person.
