One point for TUIs I haven't seen mentioned: they're faster for coding agents to iterate on. No need for screenshots or computer use. Agents have made GUIs cheap, but have made TUIs even cheaper, both to build and verify.

The linked article is such a gem: You can choose how many bugs you want now https://nolanlawson.com/2026/08/16/you-can-just-choose-how-m... Love the concept of agents adding epicycles to fix bugs. It maps clo

How ironic that agents were supposed to free us from labor, but instead they're ushering in 996 culture.
