People of Pi meditations: change the harness, not your workflow, and build features on demand

People of Pi hosted a Sunday meditation in Vienna with @badlogicgames and @mitsuhiko, sharing three takeaways on AI coding workflows:
- Change the harness, not your workflow — when agents underperform, adapt the harness rather than reshaping your own habits;
- Harness, know thyself — understand what your harness is actually doing;
- Agency to build features on demand — use agent autonomy to construct the features you need, when you need them.
The clip is from a February recording with the Syntax FM crew.
