"Metaprogramming" in its various forms is often about switching tools to the most appropriate one. Instead of opening that can with only a hammer, you first fabricate a screwdriver.

(Disclaimer: I advocate metaprogramming. Also humor.)

You shouldn't fabricate a screwdriver! You should fabricate a screwdriver building factory

Ah, just have a go at the whole late 19th century equivalent industrial infrastructure. It'll be fun!
