  • Harness engineering is the new DevOps

    Are we going to see harness engineering teams? Yes: these are already emerging. It’s too early to say, but that feels wrong in the same way that DevOps teams were a misunderstanding of DevOps-the-movement.

  • Enterprise harness smack-talk

    One enterprise harness maker says the competing enterprises harness makers either suck or are non-existent. When you go to San Francisco and talk to them, their basic vibe is ‘we don’t have to solve your problem today because tomorrow you’re going to go away and all your problems are going to be solved,’” Karp charged.…

  • The users have plenty of feature ideas

    AI allows people who aren’t software engineers to build meaningful software. Those of us who are software engineers at companies should stop building features and focus instead on building systems that allow people on the sales team, the factory shop floor, etc. etc. etc. to ship safely. 🔗 notes from o11ycon 2026

    Tanzu Platform 10.4: a private cloud platform for AI harnesses (or, “agentic AI”)

    AI companies are building platforms for running agentic applications. Right now, those applications are primarily for software development, with a little bit of knowledge worker stuff. In each case, you get a “harness,” an application that wraps all sorts of functionality around a model. This harness app is way beyond the chat-based apps we grew…

    60 to 100 days to onboard a developer – Highlights from the Harness State of Developer Experience survey

    Today’s survey: “State of the Developer Experience 2024,” Harness/Wakefield Research. Most enterprises need to automate their build and deployment pipelines. This is more than just building code and automating tests (which 71% of people are not doing), but also automating governance and security checks (which 41% of developers are not doing).
