Meta-harnesses and self-customizing software

The next thing people are going to start talking about is meta-harnesses.

Essentially, self customizing software.

This is going to be a big topic for the rest of the year. But I suspect it's going to take the dev community a little longer to master it than some of the other topics we've been over.

Right now, there aren't a lot of people outside the labs that are willing to share the practical ins and outs of meta harness construction.

Thankfully, you do know me.
And I've been building them since 2022!

True story: A self-bootstrapping meta harness was actually my first LLM based agent project.

Meta coding has always been my jam, and this is no different.

After I'm done with the coding agent I'm working on, I'm going to write some long and meaty posts about how to build them, and the parts of the process that are going to bite you if you try, how to work around them, and where in the stack they should live.

Also happy to answer any questions you might have on the topic.

I love you all.
Stay tuned.
