The Cowork and Claude Code UIs are friendly on ramps for agent tools, particularly for nontechnical roles, but I do wonder whether hiding the more technical aspects of the system makes users less likely to make their own software. On one hand, it’s probably inevitable (still) that most people won’t make their own software, but for those who might, I’m torn if the friendly UI is the better introduction. The labs certainly want you to let them make all the software for you but being able to control and modify your own tools changes your relationship with them.
