nothing is really fun in trying to hack around a model to make him do things you want knowing that its barely patching it until the next disease shows up. its painful.also it is probably a temporary step before everything close up behind closed software and closed API (like anthropic tries to) and the harness wont be yours it will be on a remote cloud server. then you will just spend the time review llm generated code. also the scale and ambition of a LLM generated piece of code can be daunting. the most basic pattern since LLM can code well is overdoing. docs are longer, blogs are longer, ppt are longer, PR are longer while quality naturally drop because more people can produce this kind of content now

- building a reliable enough system out of unreliable parts is pretty fun for me. It's a different kind of puzzle.

- pi-agent or code your own harness, it is not hard.

- codex for now allows you to use it in any harness but if they ever don't open models are catching up

- Reject low quality PRs the same as before. If management doesn't enable to you do that then that's a different problem.
