Why would I use this over any other harness? I suppose they're wrapping it all up in a nice package for enterprise, especially ones that want to control their LLM usage for cost and data security compared to the cloud frontier models.
- slopinthebag 3mo agoThere’s actually not a lot of good harnesses that aren’t slopped together python or JS codebases, which are actually model-agnostic and don’t do some really silly things like bloating the context, too much compaction etc. There is no way I’m running a python or JS agent which is probably vibe coded, it’s just too much risk from a security and supply chain standpoint.
- Geezus_42 3mo agoThe harness is a security threat because it's vibecoded but the code you're having agents write for you isn't? Lol
- slopinthebag 3mo agoI don’t vibe code though, to the extent I actually use agents to generate code it all gets reviewed and it’s essentially exactly what I would have written myself. It’s mostly things like mechanical refactors, boilerplate generation, etc.
- Geezus_42 3mo agoDon't you think that is how the majority of vibecoders see themselves?
- slopinthebag 3mo agoNo? Vibecoders talk about how they don't look at the code, how an IDE is unnecessary, loops, etc. I use ghostty despite knowing mitchellh used AI to build it, because I know he's not vibe coding it. I don't use any Anthropic software for the exact opposite reason.
- Geezus_42 3mo agoSure bud... :D
- ubermon 3mo agoI think it is more on distrusting python/typescript in general. Those dynamic scripting language are too easy to poison.
- Geezus_42 3mo agoWhat makes them any easier to poison than any other language?
- petesergeant 3mo agohttps://github.com/pjlsergeant/byre https://github.com/pjlsergeant/byre can add small but very convenient layer around whichever agent you want, initially trapping it in a specific folder, but you can easily mount more, firewall it, bring in MCPs and skills, or whatever. It's unambiguously AI-assisted, but a very very great deal of thought and work has gone in to the design of it. Ask your favourite agent to review the code if you're skeptical.
- ubermon 3mo agolol same here, this is what I use https://github.com/AntigmaLabs/ante-preview https://github.com/AntigmaLabs/ante-preview
