> Would I theoretically have a more stable harness backing my usage?
If you don’t mind an opinionated harness that asks for a pretty specific workflow, but one that works well, use OpenCode.
If you want to spread your wings and feel the sweet kiss of freedom, use Pi.
Im looking at moving to Pi and I like the minimal nature, but I disagree with a handful of decisions they make. So Id likely need to maintain a fork which is less than ideal.
What decisions is Mario making that you disagree with? My impression is Pi is minimal so any changes can live on top of Pi without needing to maintain a fork?
I started developing my own coding agent after using Pi for a couple months, so I’m curious what you don’t like about pi.
When I hear Mario talk about pi and his approach I find myself agreeing with a lot of it. But I also find myself agreeing with a lot of the points from this https://www.thevinter.com/blog/bad-vibes-from-pi

pi for the win, i have my own ai extend it when i want more specific features. vibe coded in 20 minutes shift+tab like claude code to add permission control.
I find it so funny that many of these harnesses sound like black magic and are completely mystical to me. I use Claude Code every day and yet i can't imagine the workflow of Pi. I also don't care to pay API rates just to experiment with them.
Largely though i'm happy with Claude Code w\ IDE integration, so i don't feel the need to migrate. Nonetheless i'm curious.
