What this blog is about
This blog runs on two tracks — one outward, one inward.
Outward: tracking DeepSeek Harness. DeepSeek Harness (DSH) is a developer tool project that is evolving quickly. Between releases there is a lot worth unpacking: architectural trade-offs, API design, how the toolchain is assembled, and the discussions happening in the community. I plan to follow it continuously and write down each change — not just “what shipped”, but “why it changed this way and whether it worked”.
Inward: documenting my own growth. When you learn something, the most valuable by-product is the learning process itself: how rough your first understanding was, which concepts took forever to really click, what mistakes you made, what corrected you. Growth is not a smooth upward curve — it is built from a series of “oh, I was wrong” moments. Writing those down matters more than remembering conclusions.
Writing is an amplifier for thinking. This blog is first of all for myself — to force vague ideas into clarity. If you happen to pass by, feel free to reach out.
Why HarnessDo.com
The domain is registered at Cloudflare, and the site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The reasons are practical:
- No ICP filing needed. I’m not a Chinese citizen, so I can’t go through mainland China’s ICP filing process. Hosting outside the mainland sidesteps that entirely — Cloudflare’s global CDN serves the site everywhere, mainland China included (speed varies with network conditions, but availability is not a problem).
- Domain and hosting under one roof. HarnessDo.com is registered at Cloudflare, so when the Pages project binds the custom domain, DNS records are handled automatically — no manual CNAME fiddling.
- Static site + global CDN. A blog is pure static content. Astro builds it into plain HTML/CSS/JS, Pages distributes it from edge nodes worldwide: fast, maintenance-free, zero cost.
I wrote up the whole build process in a separate post: How this site is built.
