That said - Docusign has a moat because people are afraid (and CYA) by using them instead of anything else. To make an eSignature legal isn't really that complex, you just need hash based attribution, some timestamps and some ToS.

Replacing Docusign with something else is no where close to having an AI represent you in court

That said there is hope for the Steam Machine to at least be similarly priced. I'd expect the COGS to come in cheaper than the deck because it doesn't have a screen, battery, joysticks etc and it's likely easier to assemble in general

I strongly believe the build/buy equation is much different in 2026 than it was in 2024

Harness is an agent first IDE built around git worktrees. It's designed to make it easy to organize a bunch of Claude Code sessions for all the different projects you are tackling right now

It supports macOS and Linux. And experimentally it allows separating your frontend & backend so that the agent runtimes can live in a dev box while the UI can run on your laptop.

Let me know what you think

We will definitely continue to iterate / try to keep up with whatever everyone thinks is the best UX

If you have any other problems/concerns/issues/suggestions/etc, reach out!

It's crazy to see how we have independently landed in the same place

Good luck to your project! Excited to see how our projects differ in the future

For me I liked the ergonomics of a few other tools, but none of them were exactly what I wanted so I made my own. And, I kept it open source so anyone can tweak the ergonomics to be what they like

It's centered around git worktrees. The goal is to organize all your AI sessions into somewhat logical places and make it easy to context switch. The secondary goal is to remove the need to open a separate code editor anytime you want to look at a file (We have a built in file editor powered by Monaco [vscodes editor])

However, I specifically use Google (or DDG) when the LLMs are failing me. When I want "research something on my own" because the LLM is giving me garbage, or untrustworthy information. If Google completely replaces their search box my Google usage will go down even further.

I don't plan to use Google's LLM when Cluade is just better. Now that Google's search features are gone (or going away) I no longer have any reason to turn to them at all

Harness solves this by putting the status of the agent front and center (or rather on the left vertical tab bar). Each worktree is a tab, the icon shows you if the agent is working (green means working, yellow means waiting on you, red means waiting on a permission prompt). The goal is that all work for a worktree is in one mental space, so you can easily review the agent's work (reviews built in, integrated browsers sorted by worktree, etc)
