DeepSeek Harness went from nothing to 150,000 GitHub stars in days, it's MIT licensed, and the plugin system is insane.

Worth a look if Claude Code is your daily driver. 🔗 Relevant Links https://deepseek.com/harness/en/ https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness https://github.com/anywhere-labs/deepseek-harness-desktop ❤️ More about us Radically better observability stack: https://betterstack.com/ Written tutorials: https://betterstack.com/community/ Example projects: https://github.com/BetterStackHQ 📱 Socials Twitter: https://twitter.com/betterstackhq Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betterstackhq/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@betterstack LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/betterstack 📌 Chapters: 0:00 150,000 stars in days 0:27 V4 Pro and the price gap 0:49 Built on Cordis, not from scratch 1:11 Everything is a plugin 1:35 Swapping in Claude, OpenAI or Bedrock 2:01 Traceability and the trajectory view 2:57 Creator mode and building plugins 3:25 Adding a dinosaur game with one prompt 4:20 What people built in 72 hours 5:16 Is it worth using?
