Are Agent Harnesses Bringing Back Vibe Coding?

Agent harnesses are making AI agents reliable - finally. They build on everything we’ve learned from prompt engineering and context engineering, but take it further: managing memory, controlling tools, coordinating subagents, and keeping long-running tasks on track. With this reliability for long running tasks, is vibe coding going to make a comeback? Well, sort of. I'll break that down in this video as well as what agent harnesses are, how they work, and why they’re quickly becoming the backbone for serious, production-grade AI systems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - If you want to build AI agents that are enterprise grade from day one, check out OutSystems Agent Workbench: https://fandf.co/4a08MJ3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - In partnership with AWS and Kiro, I'm hosting an AI Coding Hackathon in January with a $17,000 prize pool!
