Show HN: Uji – Gentoo of Coding Agents

A developer released Uji, a customizable coding agent harness described as the "Gentoo of Coding Agents," on Hacker News' Show HN. The creator said Uji is intended to let users fix and write their own harness features rather than depend on large companies, and to stay simple and fast without exhausting memory.

My friend and I are Neovim nerds, and every so often our Neovim setups would throw errors. What did we do? We talked to each other and solved it. It was never Neovim’s fault.

We think the same way about harnesses. If you don’t like something, you shouldn’t have to call a trillion-dollar company; you should be able to fix it yourself. If you want something custom, you shouldn’t have to keep spamming some discussion thread; you should be able to write it yourself.

And more than anything, it should be simple and fast, and your computer shouldn’t scream OOM. That’s the inspiration behind uji.

I hope you all love it!!!
