AI Tooling & Dev Harnesses

Agents, coding assistants and the harnesses they run inside. This series compares tools by how they behave over weeks of real work: what can be automated, what needs supervision, and where the overhead eats the saving.

Context engineering: why it matters and how to do it wellAI-GENERATED Context engineering: why it matters and how to do it well Context engineering designs everything a model sees, not just the prompt. It is what makes agents reliable. Methodology 3 min 06/25/2026 LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, LangFlow: four names, two companies, one decisionAI-GENERATED LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, LangFlow: four names, two companies, one decision Three of these four are one converging stack. LangFlow is a different company. Pick by the job, not the brand. Tools 5 min 06/25/2026 Automating business processes with n8n (and where AI comes into play)AI-GENERATED Automating business processes with n8n (and where AI comes into play) n8n automates processes self-hosted in the EU. Where AI helps, where it gets fragile, and when real engineering is needed. Tools 4 min 06/19/2026 No-code agent builders for the Mittelstand: what they do and where they stopAI-GENERATED No-code agent builders for the Mittelstand: what they do and where they stop No-code agent builders ship value fast, then stop at governance, evals and scale. When to use one, and when to build. Tools 5 min 06/19/2026 Choosing a coding agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, or OpencodeAI-GENERATED Choosing a coding agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, or Opencode Your data situation decides the coding agent, not the benchmark. Does your code leave the building or not? Tools 5 min 06/18/2026 Extending agentic harnesses: skills, artifacts, commands and connectorsAI-GENERATED Extending agentic harnesses: skills, artifacts, commands and connectors The model gets the headlines. The harness around it is where your leverage and your attack surface both live. Tools 5 min 06/18/2026 Personal knowledge management with AI: Claude Code and ObsidianAI-GENERATED Personal knowledge management with AI: Claude Code and Obsidian Your Obsidian vault stays local. The AI's inference does not. That split is the whole PKM decision. Methodology 5 min 06/18/2026 API, MCP, or CLI: choosing how to wire AI into your stackAI-GENERATED API, MCP, or CLI: choosing how to wire AI into your stack API, MCP, and CLI are three layers, not rivals. Pick by how many integrations you run and who has to audit them. Methodology 5 min 06/17/2026 Where a coding agent earns its keep outside engineeringAI-GENERATED Where a coding agent earns its keep outside engineering Claude Code's real value outside engineering is not code. It is letting marketing and ops encode their own procedures. Methodology 6 min 06/17/2026 Graphify: giving AI coding assistants a mapAI-GENERATED Graphify: giving AI coding assistants a map Graphify turns a codebase into a queryable knowledge graph: local-first, no code leaves the machine, cheaper agent runs.
