Harness Score

A developer writing on Dev.to argues that running a coding agent through an inexpensive, informal test harness produces observations, not rankings. The output of such a run, the author says, should be treated as a labeled observation that names the dataset, the controls, and the timing conditions. Any single score from an unpaid lane should be read with skepticism rather than as proof of capability. The piece is a caution about how casually produced agent benchmarks get interpreted.
