I'm convinced we are cycling through the stages of programming as it becomes commoditized.

That'd be true if there were more TUI applications being developed, but I'm not sure that's necessarily the case, since there have always been a lot of them out there. It seems like people are talking about them more often, though.

I propose 'fast coding'.

Like fast fashion, but for software development. One piece of software, one-time use: run, have fun, delete. No maintenance, no support, and no regret.
