Building AI‑Native Design Docs with Architecture as Code

The article explains why traditional diagram‑as‑code approaches fall short for AI agents, introduces Architecture as Code as a structured, version‑controlled alternative, discusses the role of interface contracts and narrative documentation, and outlines the need for deterministic context engineering to make design documents truly live for both humans and machines.

Why I Reject the Equation Agent = LLM + Harness

The article argues that equating an AI agent with merely an LLM plus engineering harness oversimplifies the agent’s true cognitive core—memory, planning, and tool use—and warns that such a formula risks cementing a temporary engineering compromise into a lasting ontological definition.

Exploring the Harness Architecture Concept: A First Look

This article examines the emerging "Harness Architecture" idea, arguing that constraints should be applied before AI code generation by leveraging stepwise refinement, modular contracts, and living design documents to improve precision, reduce token usage, and prevent architectural drift in large software projects.
