Yes, it's so easy to build a harness for a lot of use cases now, and you learn so much from doing so.

I'm a solo developer, and I didn't want to sort out all the boundaries and permissions of Claude or other heavy harnesses. All I wanted was something that can read, write, and modify files in a project directory. I gave myself three days to see if I could make a harness that was complete enough to work on my own projects. It was usable in less than a day.

I love using it, because I know exactly what its boundaries are, and how they're enforced. When I need more features I can either implement them in my own harness, or choose a heavier harness with much clearer understanding of what to look for.
