but from a programmers perspective - shouldn't it feel natural - you just keep filling up forms doing the same work again and again?

    From a programmers perspective it takes a grand total of 2 minutes to do a bash/python script or jupyter notebook that exposes a semantically adequate interface. Maybe 5 minutes, if instead of just doing something quick and dirty yourself you decide to get into an argument with an LLM.

    What do you mean by natural? Do you want stateful APIs?

    Oh no.

    I already hate apis that requires tokens. It's awful to use manually

    Why the fuck would you use an API manually?
