"In a recent xkcd's alt text, Randall Munroe suggested stacksort, a sort that searches StackOverflow for sorting functions and runs them until it returns the correct answer. So, I made it. If you like running arbitrary code in your browser, try it out."
That idea might approach something useful if it was combined with memory for how various algorithms have done and the ability to optimize over time by choosing better algorithms. It would be sort of like a meta-algorithm.
1. Envision what you would like software to do to help you with some task.
2. Figure out what software like that would be called, and what search terms/search engine it would be found on.
3. Enter terms into correct search engine, find that the software exists, install it and start using it.
