AI Harnesses Are a Pitstop, Not the End Game of Software Evolution

The author argues that AI harnesses — the engineering scaffolding wrapped around models — are best understood as a point-in-time evolution of how we build software around current model capabilities and limitations, not as a permanent architecture. As models improve, the harness layer will keep shifting shape; it's an essential pitstop rather than the destination.
