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.

Claude Fable 5.1 in practice: what the model carries and what it does not solve Claude Fable 5.1 in practice: what the model carries and what it does not solve One million tokens of context, cache reads at a fortieth of the input price, and a retention rule that decides the architecture in Germany.

Tools •5 min 06/25/2026 Context engineering: why it matters and how to do it well 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 decision 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 n8n versus Make.com: which automation for which team n8n versus Make.com: which automation for which team n8n is self-hostable and developer-friendly, Make.com is faster for no-code. The choice comes down to control and team.

When to use one, and when to build.

Tools •4 min 06/19/2026 Choosing a coding agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, or Opencode 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 connectors 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.

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 stack 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 engineering 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.
