A terminal will be useful for about twenty more years, not 200. At that point AI agents will take care of low level monkey wrenching for us. It’s like talking about designing a slide rule for the next 200 years.

Calculators replaced slide rules because they are predictable and reliable tools. LLM agents will never be that simply by the nature of how they work.

I am sure we'll have something better in 200 years.
