In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“more complicated stuff i think before we you had to sort of use things like the agent sdk which was like cloud code wrapped you know in order to like and i would like suggest people do that because there was so much complexity into building a harness and now that's gotten more abstracted we have like cloud man cloud management which lets you have that complexity but still like you know write like a very bare bones you”
“like harness that's scoped to your task yeah i think there's like this barbell effect where like you know like for like very complex for like coding tasks and like these like complex things you should use our harness and then for like a lot of like simpler or like you know more domain specific things you can build your own harness because cloud has gotten better at building harnesses and we have these harness primitives like managed agents so yeah”Play from 47:29Report a misattribution
