Previously Unmanufacturable

Every software product has its own grammar: Figma has frames and components, Salesforce has accounts, contacts, and opportunities, CAD has tools and constraints. Capability and required expertise rise together, so the most powerful tools are the ones fewest people can operate. AI lets users express intent in English while an agent handles the application's grammar, illustrated by a non-technical founder who directed Codex to drive CAD software and produce a dress once previously unmanufacturable for her. The counterpoint is that experts do not disappear: as in software engineering, where agents write most of the code but hard problems still require someone who understands the system underneath, depth still matters in the systems where depth is the job.
