English-language coverage of software development news from the Netherlands.
AI coding agents have shifted the bottleneck from implementation to verification, collapsing product, design, and engineering roles into a single function. Developers are building 'harnesses' to manage commodity models, while new tools like Dactyl and IBM's dual-architecture processor signal a broader rethinking of the development stack.
Coding agents commoditize implementation, making verification and simulation the bottleneck. Teams are collapsing design, engineering and product into one loop; the harness matters more than the model.
