Boris Cherny, Head of Claude Code at Anthropic:
"The next transition is coming this year."
2023: you wrote the code.
2024: you prompted Claude to write the code.
2025: you wrote loops that prompted Claude.
2026: you build the harness that runs the loops.
Each transition, the engineers who understood the new abstraction first moved ahead permanently.
The ones who waited caught up eventually — but never all the way.
Harness engineering is the 2026 abstraction.

19. Start publishing your writing
The best time to start writing was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Share your gift with the world. Even if it impacts one person on the other side of the planet, that makes it worth it.

10. Whatever you decide to do, don't half-ass it.
Shiny object syndrome is real. You're especially susceptible to it. Recognize that and commit to fully immersing yourself in whatever you decide to do. That's the only way to achieve mastery.
