Alarmed at this trend of people finally realizing MCP is a pointless abstraction, then skipping right over publishing a regular boring API, and instead launching new CLIs for agents to use for some reason. It’s baffling.

    I mean, it’s not *really* baffling. It’s Conway’s Law and the people who own the API wouldn’t listen to you and you weren’t allowed to publish a second API after people saw through the MCP trick, but nobody wanted to own the CLI so why not grab onto that. But still.
