Been exploring what I call "hyperprogramming" in @opencode Entities (#⁠name) as identity pointers, templates ($name) as reusable behaviours. So I can write "$email where #⁠synconetics and #⁠eightsix overlap", and it pulls context from my whole system. Love it, but honestly unsure if I'm using it correctly or overcomplicating things. Trying to stay lean @thdxr are primitives like this on the radar? Next to commands, skills, and agents, having native entities/templates would be brilliant

Welcome to the era of hyperprogramming
I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

Amazon thinks I might want to buy a book. Yes it's a very good book... Hello Prof. Harold Thimbleby, we thought you might be interested in this: Hyperprogramming: Building Interactive Programs With Hypercard. but, well, I wrote it with George Coulouris.

neat runtime metaprogramming (hyperprogramming) ideas in this newsletter! i really like the first idea and agree there is a lot of unexplored potential. a few metaprogramming-enabled features in natto below:
I have a new newsletter out! "I am disappointed by dynamic typing" While "dynamic types" is most often presented as "you don't have a typechecker", I'm more interested in runtime program modification. Unfortunately, that hasn't been done very much. buttondown.email/hillelwayne…
