What I hope for from AG-UI actually doesn't need AI at all. I am hoping for a human-centric #UXD layer that could be the front-end component of a #ComposableComputing / #MalleableSoftware / #BrutalistComputing / #PhenotropicProgramming paradigm, unlocking for common users most of the functionality of modern computing that most have relied on app developers to eventually roll out for them.

"The doctor and writer Atul Gawande has written about how computerization in the medical profession is leading to record levels of burnout. For instance, doctors would once skip irrelevant fields when filling out paper forms; now the software forces them to fill in those fields, and they have no power to edit those software rules. As Gawande says of one doctor: 'Spending the extra time didn’t anger her. The pointlessness of it did'.”

Thoughts on Tools Not Apps
https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/114661067873463414“Steve Jobs supposedly claimed that he intended his personal computer to be a bicycle for the mind — But what he really sold us was a train for the mind, which goes only between where rails and stations have been laid down by armies of laborers.”
The Amiga had no “Desktop” but a “Workbench”,
Imagine a computer system… without a desktop, but instead a kitchen, a workshop, a garden, and a laboratory
Not a train bringing you from station to station but a slightly dirty and scratched all terrain bike which has allowed you and your mind to go anywhere and everywhere, even where no one has gone before
Geoffrey Litt, Josh Horowitz, Peter van Hardenberg, and Todd Matthews. 2025. #MalleableSoftware: Restoring User Agency in a World of Locked-Down Apps. Ink & Switch. #Essay https://www.inkandswitch.com/essay/malleable-software/
"The original promise of personal computing was a new kind of clay—a malleable material that users could reshape at will. Instead, we got appliances: built far away, sealed, unchangeable."
"Software should have never been an industry."

Follow-up on my #piwo2025 talk:
malleable software
https://www.inkandswitch.com/essay/malleable-software/
My talk was all about control=agency.
I push for #freesoftware because there's no #agency without permission. But permission is not enough to gain agency to modify things. They also need to be built malleable. -
