The Answer to the Harness Question
Read OriginalThis article explores the debate over AI harnesses, arguing that the confusion stems from treating harnesses as a single entity. It distinguishes between the WHAT (context, goals, user identity) and the HOW (step-by-step instructions). The HOW rots as models improve, while the WHAT appreciates in value. The author concludes that harnesses are essential for capturing human intent but should stay out of the way for execution. This is relevant to AI prompting, intent engineering, and software development practices.
