life lesson: never bet on a custom harness like Pi
been loving my custom Pi setup for the last few weeks, the fact that I can build any extension, use any models
but things are moving too fast today
huge teams behind Claude / Codex change the way we develop almost every month
so by building and maintaining a custom agent you're more likely to get left behind
most models perform better in their native harnesses anyway, and using external ones is likely to get banned
so I recommend betting your workflow on a portable primitives, like prompts, skills or scripts, instead of custom agents
