The future of computer use is via meta-agent 99% of the time.

I’ve written assembly. I could re-learn and do it today, though it’d be much faster to have my agent do it for me. And I haven’t written assembly since college anyway because it’s slower than writing C or Python or Go or Rust (agent or no agent). These are tired arguments and you can see where this is going.

But I think a few things are undeniable:

  • people (can and often do) learn
  • agents make computer use way easier
  • agents make learning computer stuff easier

Now you can just talk to an agent that does things for you and teaches you about them. It’s at least an order of magnitude more efficient to learn computer stuff than it was two years ago; have the concepts explained to you, understand them at your own pace, and upskill on your usage of the underlying tools via agents. Non-technical folks are going to do increasingly technical things, and they’re going to move along the same best practices growth curve engineers do.

I automate nearly all my computer use through a meta-agent now. I still type – I’m typing this – but the system is bootstrapped. It works at just about anything you can do with a computer.
