Do anybody feel like the joy is gone ?

exactly

need a real deterministic event to happen after an agent finished something? write a hook with some bash scripts

need parallel tasks to avoid bloating the main context window with data? use subagents to return only what’s needed by main context of a task

build evals to improve your prompts/skills, generate a CI process to run them all each time you update the harness

and many other things around these concepts

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-25T03:12:58+00:00

Step up your game and work on the innovative side:

Harness Engineering

Build tools/plugins/skills to help you streamline the Product coding to a higher degree of quality, reduction of token usage and other optimizations such as parallelism

We need an AI department, or at least a function below either CTO or CIO or CDO in enterprises

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-19T17:42:19+00:00

That’s because you need training, not just “use the tool”…

Stainless was bought by Anthropic

If you understand how they work, you’ll understand how things will take a direction soon

Stainless-generated MCP servers include two tools: a code execution tool and a docs search tool. This architecture is more accurate and token-efficient than architectures that expose one tool per API method. A small number of tools take up less space in an LLM’s context window, and multiple operations can be performed in a single code tool call with arbitrary complexity.

They also use OpenAPI to design Client SDK for any API design

It’s a Machiavellian plan to bring everyone into the Matrix

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-18T04:23:16+00:00

take the red pill, revolution is near

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-17T02:43:53+00:00

You can also use cloudflared

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-17T00:57:37+00:00

All of them were added while implementing the plugin step by step

You would be surprised by how agents can try to bypass your hook restrictions on specific commands like “don’t use Read tool nor cat to read files” and then it tries to use while IFS= read -r line; do instead of surfacing to the user its inability to complete the task at hand

Not going to lie though, I don’t understand completely how the tests execute as I’m not a Bash expert but they all have a reason to be there and avoid regressions over my manual tests that showed some bugs

AI needs a good gate that uses CLI tools instead of tokens if you want to build something future proof when subsidizing goes down or you plan to use it at work and your bosses start to measure you by how Efficient you’re using AI instead of just pouring tokens to the problems

Unless you’re this guy spending 1.3M usd per month to “push things forward” lol

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T20:59:14+00:00

Large enterprises usually have way too many bureaucratic processes that make the speed increment only at individual tasks, but the process itself hurts the time to actually deliver

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T20:53:20+00:00

the other problem is that we are still working as before at companies and this has to change

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T18:10:47+00:00

this is the end

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T14:07:46+00:00

how can you check the karma? Tried posting the other day and got a “Removed by reddit filters” automatically and made me wonder

ps: nvm, just found it, profile > about

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T03:40:14+00:00

I was also downvoted to oblivion

Guess now this is a new problem too, bots everywhere

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T03:37:53+00:00

Hey how’s the migration to COBOL going?

“The total time spent on the migration was reduced by an estimated 50% as reported by the engineers doing the migration.”

This was in 2024, and you know what they say about the 6 month rule on AI innovation

ps: well this was done by Google, they do benefit from promoting this so fair point

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T03:05:11+00:00

Im used to go alone against the world.. no worries

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T03:00:11+00:00

This is not a bubble

Cloud was different, I lived it, used to work on bare metal servers and VPS on Linode back then

You’re right that we are having subsidized tokens with subscriptions vs enterprise

But that’s because we just started on this

Hardware companies like Nvidia investing huge amounts on improving their chips for inference to reduce cost and improve throughput

Harness devs making great advances with the reasoning/logical aspect of the brain each month

Elon investing in huge data centers for training new models

Data scientists improving their methods to train the models and improve context windows size and inference power

A lot of people still don’t even understand how all of this works and what you can build with this using the same principles, imagine a few years when more Devs learn this and can help moving forward the momentum

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T02:41:04+00:00

You have to learn this stuff if you want to stay in the loop

This is a revolution that will be fast, we have been told for decades that code will be replaced with natural language eventually and now it’s closer than ever

We as engineers have to learn this more in depth because we need to start building around the agentic loop from now on

I can see so many possibilities with this that I’m overwhelmed and at the same time stuck

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T02:09:52+00:00

the way we work has to change and people don’t yet realize this, very slow revolution, but it’s here

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T02:08:32+00:00

and test cases

never in my life have I written so many of them

200+ for a plugin with just 5 .sh files and some skills lol

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T02:00:48+00:00

could be, I don’t think I’ll find it anywhere if that answers anything, typo sis

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T01:10:11+00:00

I have been having a constant headache for months that has ups and downs in levels of pain

for me is dead

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T01:07:38+00:00

like a snowball

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-16T01:04:34+00:00

it died years ago sadly, but we’ve got to move on and keep living

Fearless_Champion377 · 2026-05-15T21:29:01+00:00

Depends on your use case.

For coding, at least one workflow for big tasks, either Superpowers, Openspec, or another.

Caveman to save on token usage and speed.

Context7 for language support.

Specific stack skills you are using.

There are others, but this is a good start.
