I asked Hermes Agent to change how it set thread titles, and it patched its own source code! Self modifying code is hard to reason about even in a deterministic environment. I'd already limited Hermes access to the todoist API and web search out of an abundance of caution.

Watching https://youtu.be/KWB-gDVuy_I and I'm struck by how weird constructors are as an API. * They promote total functions, making it hard to do validation. * They're hard to split up, because they have special access to unfinished data. * They're like a framework: you get called.

I'm writing an experimental PL and I want to exercise it on real programs asap. These need to be useful (so I actually try them), but simple (my PL is unfinished). My current ideas: * A git fuzzy branch switcher (shell commands) * dotfiles sync (filesystem access) Suggestions?
