I have. I thought it was okay, but it wasn't really the radical departure from other coding harnesses that I was looking for. Perhaps I could have made it that with more customization, I'm not sure. My own harness doesn't pro

Glm-5.3-flash for me. I like faster models because I stay involved all the way through. I don't delegate full control to the agent because it's harder to understand the end result that way.

I think one way to approach this is by deliberately choosing less capable tools (but still AI-assisted). You don't have to delegate huge tasks to agents wholesale, but it requires fighting against mainstream harnesses to do so because

100% this. 1. Keep secrets in a dedicated secrets store. 2. Read directly from the secrets store in application code. There is no environment, there are no environment variables. Yes, even on local.

YES! It's still very wip, I spent a couple of weekends on it so far, but I'm working on a harness that eschews autonomy and instead aims to work as a pair programming partner. Key to that are distinct "driver" and "

Yesterday I started working on an agent harness that tries to address some of the issues here. What I'm hoping to build ultimately is something that works more like a pair-programming partner than existing harnesses do. I want the user

If a coworker dumped a 5k-line code review on you, you'd tell them to come back when it's broken down into smaller, reviewable chunks. Large dumps of code are basically unreviewable by humans, but it seems like a lot of people hav

For decades, engineers understood that large code reviews are harder than small ones. Out of both politeness and a desire to receive better code reviews, we learned to break our large changes into smaller chunks. Some engineers took things

I began this project as an exercise to learn Go before starting a new job, then continued it as an exercise to mess about with Claude Code. So development was LLM-assisted: the UI is 100% vibe-coded, the model is 100% vim-typed, the rest is

A nice thing about the SAX approach is it lets you layer other APIs on top too. I did something like that in BFJ: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bfj
