@om_patel5 showing this to anyone who asks what it's like inside my brain

[erica @ericagregor]

@nuevo_tokyo wow this is beautiful

[erica @ericagregor]

to those who have tried several agent orchestrators or harnesses - which feels the best?

[erica @ericagregor]

why do some agent orchestrators and harnesses feel snappy and performant, while others struggle?

it's mostly about tool retrieval 🧵

[erica @ericagregor]

most notable is Claude Code's decision to place the tool retrieval pipeline server-side: a decision influenced by Anthropic owning the entire stack, model included

when you own both ends, the model and the retrieval strategy can evolve together

5/5

@apnmrev highly unlikely those 7 apps will be performant at scale or have proper security and data protection considerations in place

a lot of mockups i see only look good because they're using good stock photos

protip: use real UGC and lower-quality content in your mockups to ensure your UI still looks good across real-use contexts

the pain of deploying several research and task agents before falling asleep only to wake up and realize you got rate-limited within the first 15min

[erica @ericagregor]

@pauline_unik or you just experience decision paralysis and order nothing 😂

nyc bagel and schmear options are unparalleled

[erica @ericagregor]

starting to realize a lot of what people are calling agentic engineering is actually harness engineering

a powerful model in a simple harness will feel dumb and buggy

a small local model in a harness with clean tools, legible errors, and room to think will clearly outperform it

@eledure this reminds me of soft touch keyboard sounds 🤌

i know y'all are saying it's a new york summer but it's also a montreal summer

she's starting later, but there is nothing more magical!!

give some sunshine, warmth, and hockey success to a population that's in cold darkness for 6 months and it's guaranteed good vibes only
