A way to get leverage: focus on the meta-thing, not the thing.
- A way to get leverage: focus on the meta-thing, not the thing.
- The meta-thing is the system that generates the thing.[hz]
- If you can get it to work well, then you improve not only the thing, but a whole class of things.
- For example, if you have a compiler, optimizations improve everything it compiles.
- Another example: in search quality, don't check in a configuration file of synonyms, check in the process to generate that file based on an analysis of the querystream.
- Now it can improve itself automatically and keep itself up to date.
- Another example: never touch the code directly, touch the specs and LEARNINGS.md that you give to the LLM to generate the code.
