    People keep asking me where to start with harness engineering.

    People keep asking me where to start with harness engineering. Skip the frameworks at first. Build the tiniest possible harness. One agent loop, a few tools, and a system prompt you wrote from scratch. You'll learn more from that than from a month of reading tutorials.
