Yacine Critiques Agent Frameworks: Drop the Buzzwords, Just Use Bash

Yacine expressed his frustration with complex agent harnesses in a recent tweet. He argued that instead of inventing buzzwords, developers should describe model capabilities in plain English, like giving a model a REPL to build useful mechanisms.
Another developer agreed, suggesting that if a model is good enough, it can build its own harness using bash, jokingly calling them 'BLMs' (Bash Language Models).
