Remember writing a compiler in university? Not a real compiler of course, but a toy that handled a subset of a language and generated naive code. You'd never ship it. But decades later, you still understand how compilers work because you built one.
That's what we're doing here. In one day, you'll build a working AI coding harness in C++.
Not Claude Code. Not Cursor. A simple, but complete harness that you fully understand. It talks to an LLM, defines tools, executes them, and runs the same agentic loop that powers every AI coding assistant on the market.
We will then use the minimal working harness, along with AI models, to modify its own C++ source code, adding features and more advanced functionality.
This experience will provide you with a fundamental understanding of how these tools work, so you can better use them as you move into the world of generative AI programming.
Jody Hagins
Jody Hagins earned a master's degree during the AI winter of the 1980s, authoring seven academic publications in less than a year before deciding the publish-or-perish route wasn't for him. After spending grad school in Lisp and Smalltalk, he naturally began his career writing Unix kernel code in C. After getting C++ code running in the kernel, he spent most of the last 35 years in what eventually became known as the HFT space. He approaches AI with the perfect mix of historical skepticism and practical curiosity—and has spent more time than he'd like to admit discovering how to make generative AI tools create good C++.
