Brilliant in Bursts
AI writes brilliant code in bursts and loses the thread across long arcs. It declares victory early. It grades its own homework kindly. None of that is a scandal; it’s a material property, like knots in wood. You build around it.
The Harness Is the Product
Interrogation before construction. Builders who never grade themselves. Tests compiled from the plan. Reviewers who arrive cold. A watch that outlasts the applause. Every mechanism exists because a real build once failed in a specific way. Instead of shrugging, we grew a body part.
The Bet Underneath
The wager the whole company rests on:
Models keep getting stronger
Every upgrade is pure upside here
Everyone gets the same strong AI
Almost nobody has the harness
What It Means for You
Software that arrives finished
Evidence instead of vibes
A team, not a typist
It knows when to stop
