overengineering was the easiest way to fail your startup glad it no longer exists today
it’s hard to explain the 2010s microservices fever dream to anyone who wasn’t there every day on HN, we'd wake up to an article from a new startup about how they split their app into 300 services so they could infinitely scale (never mind that they only had 100 MAUs today) so many companies never recovered from this it turns out, replacing simple function calls with network calls that could randomly fail isn't great for shipping velocity

If an AI service is at capacity, let me leave the task in a queue. Show me that it’s waiting. Let me cancel it. Continue when there’s room. Clicking β€œtry again” every few minutes is a strange job to give the human in an automation product.

The best harness knows how to get most out of both the data and the model Pure model agnostic harnesses will never get the most out of a model
