Harness Unscripted - AI agents may be cool, but firms aren’t taking humans out of the loop

While AI agents help software engineers produce code more quickly, this increase in velocity doesn’t guarantee high-quality output. At a panel session at the recent Harness Unscripted event in London, engineering leaders discussed how DevSecOps pipelines and platforms must evolve as AI takes on a greater role in software development, with humans remaining very much in the loop.

From coding to testing and onto deployment, the experts suggested that human oversight matters. Platform engineers should focus on three areas as they integrate agents into the development process: reducing risk, establishing accountability, and managing bottlenecks.

Sean Hamilton-Andrews, Director of Platform Engineering for Hosting and Service Platforms at insurance firm Aviva, encouraged professionals to build trust into DevSecOps pipelines by giving contextual information to agents, such as providing frameworks and defining what good looks like:

You want your agents to really understand that context first, and then the second bit is making...

The Hidden Risks Behind High Staking and DeFi Yields

I used to treat staking and DeFi dashboards like a bank rate board. A card said 8% or 40%, I compared the numbers, and I moved on. That habit broke the first time a high APY farm paid mostly in a thin reward token while the fee line under it

The Hidden Costs of Apache Spark: Why Architecture Matters More Than Compute

Why adding executors rarely fixes the most expensive Spark problems A slow Spark job is often treated as a sizing problem: add executors, increase memory, raise shuffle partitions, and try again. That can hide the real issue. The expensive failures I see in Spark architectures usually come from unnecessary shuffles,

How Tokenized Stocks Could Reshape Wall Street's Global Power

For decades, Wall Street operated on a simple premise: the U.S. financial system not only produced the world’s most sought-after public companies, but also controlled the infrastructure through which investors around the globe gained access to them. A company would list on Nasdaq or the NYSE, work with

Changing Your IPAM Should Not Rewrite Every Deployment

Suppose a network team moves authoritative IPAM data from NetBox to Nautobot. The deployment still needs the same thing it needed yesterday: trusted prefix and inventory data before it creates infrastructure. Yet operation definitions across the environment now need editing because they all say requires_authority: netbox. That migration should
