A harness is about capability; a factory is about repeatability, auditability, and team ownership. This post describes the architecture I’ve settled on for… Continue reading From AI Harness to Software Factory: A Practical Agentic Engineering Stack

I’ve found a current set up that helps mitigate the weaknesses that involves strict quality gates at the time of commit. The goal? Never commit “bad” code! At first… Continue reading (Strict) Precommit Hooks: Shifting AI Feedback Left
