AI agents are getting more complex, and developers shouldn't have to babysit them

A Hacker News entry links to a New Stack article with the headline "AI agents are getting more complex. Developers shouldn't have to babysit them." The headline argues that as AI agents grow more complicated, developers should not need to supervise them constantly. The Hacker News entry has one point and no comments, so there is little community discussion so far. The article's web address refers to harness engineering for coding agents, which suggests its focus is the tooling around such agents.
