Exiting the phase of my career where I realize everything is a compiler problem and entering the phase where I realize everything is a dependency management problem.
Mass hysteria of CLIs suddenly deciding to emit unsolicited JSON/NDJSON output when used by an agent, and I have no idea why.
- LLMs understand text just fine; arguably prefer it; also more token efficient.
- Agents have absolutely no problem passing --json if they need it.
