Harness Engineering: AI Agents at Scale and the Self-Healing Codebase
About this episode
We dissect the February 2026 OpenAI report on harness engineering, where AI agents write code under a human-curated harness. Learn how direct DOM access, structured logs, and automated refactoring enable scalable, reliable software—without humans typing lines of code. We discuss implications for developers, toolchains, and the future of software engineering.
