I turned my AI Engineer Europe talk into a post: what an agent harness is, and how a harness took GPT-3.5 Turbo from lying about success to finishing the job in 6 iterations, with the same prompt. tej.as/blog/what-is-an-agent-harness

What Is an Agent Harness? Harness Engineering Explained

An agent harness is everything around an AI model that grounds it in reality: tools, context, guardrails, the loop and verification. How to build one.

AI engineering is more than a glorified fetch call to an LLM. 💻 At his workshop, @tej.as will take you beyond the prompt: ✅ Building and orchestrating agents ✅ Hands-on with RAG, OpenClaw, and the 2026 AI stack ✅ What happens inside the "black box" of AI 🎫 Limited spots!

did skills.md kill mcp (model context protocol)? a lot of people are talking about this so i thought this excerpt from the latest podcast episode might help distinguish these two concepts in ai engineering full ep in reply

context engineering in ai is a thing because it's really just working memory optimization. both humans and machines have distinct working memory vs. long-term storage mechanisms. more on this in the podcast (links in reply) h/t @hubermanlab for a great episode on memory (also linked in reply)

I always found the answer to be the least interesting part anyway, and this hasn’t changed with AI. Doing it asynchronously is silly as heck though, you won’t get any signal from that.

i think @vercel.com does devrel extremely well because it's more "build in public" than shilling. you don't need "devrel" in your title. you just need to build things youre proud of and share them.

Tejas Kumar @tej.as · 19/02/2026

Leetcode interviews don't make sense anymore with AI. Is it cheating or is it just modern engineering? Is tech interviewing totally broken? @mkrl.xyz and I discussed this recently on the pod.

Don't Idolize Tech "Superstars". They drink coffee and have bad days just like you. Stop putting senior engineers on pedestals. Great advice from @mkrl.xyz on the latest podcast.

Steve Jobs wasn't the best coder in the room. Neither is the person who just got promoted over you. The best communicators aren't always the smartest engineers—they are the ones who make you feel something. Here is the difference explained:

no one cares about your reasons when the room is hot, tired, or checked out. instead, you communicate well when you do so with clarity and brevity: short and sweet.

Tejas Kumar @tej.as · 11/02/2026

Stop rambling. If you can’t summarize your thesis in one sentence, you don’t understand it well enough to teach it. Here is the template: "I believe [X] because [Y], so we should [Z]." Try it for your next meeting.

Tejas Kumar @tej.as · 10/02/2026

"We are a family" usually means "We expect you to work unpaid overtime." 🚩 If the vibes are off, it’s because the alignment isn't there. It’s the corporate equivalent of the "ick." Here is why you should trust your peripheral vision when evaluating a company culture.

Ever get a weird vibe from a leader but can't explain why? Your brain detects when words ("I don't care about money") don't match actions (turning a non-profit into a for-profit). Trust your gut. 🧠 We explore this in the latest episode of ConTejas on effective communication. Full ep in reply.

"Communication is not what you say, it's what they understand." This quote legitimately shook me from the ConTejas Code podcast where it immediately explained why people like my talks as much as they do: I instinctively/subconsciously make sure they understand, not just that I speak.

“f you money” just reveals a really dark heart. i have a lot of money and could technically retire today if i wanted, but no matter how much money i have, id never think/say “f you” but instead i can (and do) pump it into things to help them grow healthily.
