A harness is everything in a coding agent except the model. Two September 2026 studies measured which parts of it matter: context management when the window is tight, planning mostly as a cost saver, and the harness as a whole far more for your bill than for your pass rate.

A week after launch, Jev had a trusted monitor, two computer-use agents, three self-hosted clones, a benchmark and a chatbot nobody should use. Here is the stack slot each project fills, and which of their numbers anyone has shown.

Compaction is the step where a coding agent summarises its own history to keep working. Here is what it keeps, what it drops, what OpenAI found hiding in its summaries in September 2026, and the moves people use to compact less.

Within a week of Jev's launch, open replications of it were everywhere. They are four different kinds of project with incomparable latency claims. Here is what each one replaces, and what you give up by leaving the hosted API.

TypeSafe launched Jev on 15 September 2026: a model that returns typed decisions instead of text. Here is what a System One model is, what is proven versus claimed, and where it sits in a stack.

The first edition of our AI coding tool switch series starts with a very small September 2026 sample. Cursor and Claude Code lead, while co-use is more common than switching.

Stackness is on Product Hunt today. What it is, what shipped in the four weeks since we opened, and the three kinds of feedback that would actually help.

Stackness launches on Product Hunt tomorrow, so we did what everyone does before guests arrive: tidied up. Public trending pages, category hubs, move cards for your README, tile quick look and a nicer blog.

Tools are what you install. Moves are how you actually work: the habits, rituals and workflow tricks that make a stack yours. What a move is, and how to write one worth stealing.

Your stack page is now a bento grid you arrange yourself - subspaces, five tile sizes, drag-to-group clusters, all edited in place. Plus bookmarks everywhere, one History tab, and full MCP parity so agents can arrange your profile too.

A new picker fills your stack from what people run together. Tap the tools you use, watch related ones show up next to them, publish the lot as one update.

August is supposed to be the quiet month. Instead we got a compiler changing languages, a protocol getting audited in public, and Hacker News once again deciding that Postgres is the answer to every question. Here is what actually moved in developer stacks this month - not the product launches, but the shifts that change what you would put in a new project today.
