Agentic AI 101: From Punched Cards to intent.md

Agentic AI 101 starts with a punched card. In the 1970s only computer scientists could tell a computer what to do. Then programmers could, then business users could through screens IT built. Now the business user writes intent.md and an agent does the rest. Fifty years, one boundary, and a governance lesson at the end.
