Harness Engineering: How to Build a Software Factory — Dru Knox, Tessl

Dru Knox of Tessl discusses harness engineering, the discipline for building software factories with AI agents. He outlines a factory's three pillars—autonomy, automation, quality—and introduces inner, outer, and meta loops. Knox explains why this field is challenging and proposes a three-layer architecture: control plane, agent-ready stack, and improvement loops, concluding with key metrics to track progress towards an agent-driven software development future.

How Jev Turns AI Into Software That Gets Things Done

Diogo Almeida, founder of TypeSafe AI, joins a16z's Ben Horowitz and Martin Casado to explore why AI is so capable yet so underused for automation. He argues that coding agents make developers faster without making software better, and introduces Jev, a primitive that embeds probabilistic, intent-aware intelligence inside programs. The conversation covers reliability as the key to programmable AI, the revival of probabilistic software, why SaaS companies are well positioned to benefit, and the long-term goal of technology that can reliably "do what I mean."
