The Shape of Things to Come
The author discusses the evolution of coding 'harnesses' and the shift toward bespoke, application-specific tooling rather than reusable frameworks. They share personal experiences with failed projects and their current focus on using AI to develop a long-term video game project.
Why it matters
It highlights a growing trend among senior developers to abandon generic framework ecosystems in favor of highly customized, AI-assisted development workflows.
Today we're going to explain the "loops and graphs" thing, and I'll show you how to get your coding agent to work all night on massive problems while you snore peacefully.
Then we're going to look at what happens to harnesses once you solve those problems. They either devolve into chaos, or they evolve into cities. Done properly, civilization emerges, right there in your project. We're going to learn the basics, and then we will explore how to build your cities with some taste and class, in a way that makes them good for their citizens to inhabit.
