50% of the posts claim that the model is the product. The other 50% of the posts claim that the harness is the product. Which one is it?

I am drafting a blog post about how to connect the dots around concepts such as agent orchestration, specs, tasks lists, planning mode, autonomous agents, todo lists, sub-agents, and more. I am kidding.

It looks like "files" are the "new database" in generative AI (coding tools) land. I am not sure how this is going to scale but it seems to be working for now. Maybe there will be an NFS renaissance in the coming months. Who knows. 💁‍♂️

@mreferre.bsky.social this Q thingy is pretty good. right now I only wish the VSCode plugin agentic mode would have a similar option to run commands autonomously as the CLI version has [t] — now the flow keeps waiting for me to run them and that unnecessary interruption is just a waste of time

This can happen with any AI agent… or human developer! A BIG difference w AI agents: they will write more code, faster than before, and ship a LOT more code to prod! So ship more bugs as well. Software engineers (not AI engineers) will build o11y solutions to solve for this!
