两位开发者自述：智能体时代告别终端，系统知识仍是护城河
两位用了十几年终端的开发者聊，为什么现在都改用 Agent 干活，又为什么底层知识反而更值钱了。
Yuchen Jin 自述使用终端超过 15 年、精通 Vim，如今转向直接向智能体（Agent）表达意图，由其操作文件、命令和进程。Elvis Saravia 回应称自己也已完全离开终端，把工作大量委托给 Agent。两人都认为终端经验培养的系统思维并未失效，Saravia 用它设计 sandbox 与上层抽象。文中的核心判断是：理解抽象之下的底层原理，是 AI 时代开发者的一种护城河。
Same here. I used the terminal for a long time, and I loved it. Agents have changed all of that. I didn't imagine that that day would arrive, but I have completely moved away from the terminal. You can delegate so much more of this stuff to agents now. And today there are undeniably better interfaces for working with agents. But that experience with terminals has made me a better systems thinker, which I have used in areas like designing useful sandboxes and interesting abstractions on top of them. Yuchen Jin @Yuchenj_UW I was a terminal person for 15+ years. I loved Vim, knew all the shortcuts, and a black terminal made me feel like I was a cool hacker in The Matrix. But terminals assume humans operate computers directly via files, commands, processes. Agents changed all that. You just say your intent. The agent operates the machine, using the same programming languages and Linux commands we spent years learning. I’m still glad I learned computer systems before the AI era though. Understanding what sits beneath the abstraction makes you a better systems thinker. That’s a moat in the AI era. 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 5 🔄 0 ❤️ 4 👀 1103 📊 4 ⚡
