The Hidden Power of Harness Engineering: Unlocking AI's Full Potential in Your Teams with Vivek Haldar

Most engineering leaders are still navigating the explosive shift from traditional development to AI-driven software creation. Vivek Haldar, a former Google AI expert turned indie innovator, explains the seismic changes reshaping coding — from autopilots to autonomous agents — and reveals how top teams are building “dark factories” to automate their entire SDLC.

Vivek shares practical frameworks on harness engineering and the role of skills, abstractions, and tooling in creating reliable AI agents. You'll discover the three key ideas redefining automation: the groundings of MCP, workflow-following agents, and generative UI. Plus, learn why the rapid pace of model improvement demands constant recalibration and experimentation to stay ahead.

Perfect for CTOs, engineering managers, and AI practitioners aiming to lead in this fast-evolving landscape.
