@steipete: own your harness

31 October 2026, 11:53 · 2 sources · Curated by Sara Simeone

Peter Steinberger (@steipete) reacted to Claude Code's new rule against recreating existing games by arguing for running your own agent harness, the software around the model that a vendor can't change overnight. He also praised OpenRouter's rebuilt provider routing, which now weighs quality per cost rather than just the lowest price.

Why it mattersA fair point for anyone building a business on a single vendor's agent: keep a second option tested.
