Wean is a lightweight wrapper script that adds exponential timeout friction to agentic AI tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to discourage over-reliance and restore user agency in programming work. It's a philosophical stance packaged as a shell utility, grounded in Marx's alienation theory and Naur's programming-as-theory-building treatise.

One insight: This is anti-product activism (not a business): 3 GitHub stars, zero revenue intent, and a deliberately trivial-to-bypass friction tool—attractive only to a niche of philosophically motivated developers who'll never form a viable market.
