For fifty years, software engineering was Architecture. You drew blueprints. You laid bricks. You were limited by how many lines of code your mind could hold at once.
Today, we are entering the era of Biology. The complexity of modern systems has exceeded human cognitive limits. The role of the human must shift. You created the system, but you can no longer build it by hand.
The User is the Gardener.
In the Smykowski Protocol, code is not written; it is evolved. You define the environmental constraints—the tests, the linters, the security boundaries. Then, you release the swarm.
Thousands of ephemeral agents compete to solve your problem. They mutate, they fail, they die. The system learns from every death. The "User" does not fix the bug; the user prunes the branch that caused it.
Why guess the right solution when you can try them all? We treat development as a high-frequency trading market. Five agents race to implement a feature. The first to pass the "Cleanroom Protocol"—our gauntlet of automated audits—wins the commit.
You tend the soil. You watch the structure grow itself.
Welcome to the Farm.
