An Agent Harness is the infrastructure that wraps around an AI model to manage long-running tasks. It is the system that governs how the agent operates. Agent harnesses turn vague, multistep agent workflows into structured data that can be logged and graded to improve systems.
Stop Drowning In AI Information Overload
Your inbox is flooded with newsletters. Your feed is chaos. Somewhere in that noise are the insights that could transform your work—but who has time to find them?
The Deep View solves this. We read everything, analyze what matters, and deliver only the intelligence you need. No duplicate stories, no filler content, no wasted time. Just the essential AI developments that impact your industry, explained clearly and concisely.
Replace hours of scattered reading with five focused minutes. While others scramble to keep up, you'll stay ahead of developments that matter. 600,000+ professionals at top companies have already made this switch.

Efficient project management is critical for teams aiming to meet deadlines, stay organized, and optimize workflows. With the growing demand for advanced tools, here are the 25 best project management software solutions for 2026, complete with their standout features and descriptions:

Change is the only constant. Keep a finger on technology trends to avoid being caught off-guard by hype or doom. Update skills, diversify abilities, and focus on uniquely human aspects to stay in the loop. There will always be demand for engineers who think holistically, learn continuously, and drive technology toward solving real problems.

Compound engineering is a fundamental shift in mindset where developers go from code writers to system orchestrators. Throughout 2025, the engineering community embraced AI-assisted coding with enthusiasm. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot became ubiquitous, and developers celebrated productivity gains of 30-70% compared to traditional workflows.

The Claude Code team has been hiding something powerful. Buried inside the official codebase is a complete multi-agent orchestration system - fully built, extensively tested, just waiting behind a single disabled function. But this open-source project, CC Mirror, unlocks what might be the cleanest agent coordination framework you'll find: no extra dependencies, no new abstractions, just pure task decomposition with blocking relationships and background execution.
