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!

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.
