Why Harness Design May Become the System Design of the Agentic AI Era
kmeanskaran · x · 2026-11-11
kmeanskaran argues that harness engineering is the single skill that matters most in agentic AI today, and its lasting demand will mirror what system design has meant for software engineers.
The cited harness skill stack covers: selecting the right data, designing the harness itself, caching & memory, human-in-the-loop, context management, evals, and ops. A useful framing for how AI engineering careers are being restructured around agent infrastructure rather than raw model work.
