I thought the entire industry is moving toward harness engineering? I read this twice and didn't fully understand what it was telling me.

- rajit 4mo agoThanks for the feedback. The main idea is that today to built a best-in-class agent, developers build the agent loop, session management, tools, memory, skills, automations (cron + trigger-based), sandboxed deployment, and self-learning. By providing Hermes with a system prompt, custom tools, and skills, developers get the agent loop, session management, automations, sandboxed deployment, and self-learning for free.
- usernametaken29 4mo agoBut effectively they’re deferring harness engineering onto another developer?? I don’t understand how this is different than any other library, ever
- rajit 4mo agoYes by using us developers are deferring the harness engineering onto us, and they can spend time writing code for their business logic. We are closer to infrastructure than a library or framework; we give developers a live agent they can chat with in a single API call.
