Sure but the more you do this, the more tools/commands/libraries/modules have to ideally both document and remember, realistically neither.. Cognitive overload

Sure but the more you do this, the more tools/commands/libraries/modules have to ideally both document and remember, realistically neither.. Cognitive overload. Shell commands with their args ... core syntaxes for half a dozen languages ... a couple base class libraries and 0-2 frameworks for each ... plus all your own abstraction/automation stuff on top? Admittedly this all used to be quite a bit simpler back in a sole "Win32-app world": VisualStudio+MSDN=done, no shell to speak of, no web layer / stack, One GUI Way, etc. But 15-20-years-ago ain't coming back for at least another decade.
