Are people again learning a new set of tools? Just tell the AI what you want, if the AI tool doesn't allow that then tell another Ai tool to make you a translation layer that will convert the natural language to the commands etc. What's the point of learning yet another tool?

I think somewhere between 2016 and 2026 the market realized that programmers _love_ writing tools for themselves and others, and it went full bore into catering to the Bike Shedding economy, and now AI is accelerating this to an absurd degree.

I cannot decipher what you mean, have you mixed up the tabs, and wanted to post this somewhere else?

The linked site is a pretty good interactive Claude tutorial for beginners.

Strongly agree with the sentiment, but I'd say if you're familiar with the terminal you may as well just install it and truly 'learn by doing'!

I could see this being great for true beginners, but for them it might be nice to have even some more basics to start (how do I open the terminal, what is a command, etc).

Nope, why would anybody type commands to a machine that does natural language processing? Just tell the thing what you want.

I don't understand the purpose of a tutorial for a natural language ai system.
