The barrier to entry for self-evolving code agent harnesses is genuinely low.
It reminds me of a famous saying in the stand-up comedy world: “Everyone can get on stage and do a three-minute stand-up comedy set.”
Now, the code agent field is just like stand-up comedy—anyone can casually whip up a first-class code agent, and every single one boasts about excelling at long-range and complex tasks.
