TBH this is something I've been thinking about recently (re: AI and agents).
Do we just need a better beginner programming language? Something that, yeah, you probably won't write a Full Blown Web App in, but that will work for simple scripts if you want to just Get Some Data and Show It or Just Push Some Data Somewhere?
P. S. Or maybe not a language but like an environment. Kind of like a mix between Basic, Spyder and Postman.

Although, there are also problems of: a) Most services won't just open your API to you (something that #EdZitron points out in #BetterOffline as a barrier for LLM agents too) b) Even if you reverse-engineer an API, you'll probably need to do a gajillion things just to do something simple, because frontends and APIs are bloated to hell nowadays.
