Otherwise, if you're a programmer setting up a local harness, it only takes like 20-30 minutes to learn what the right parameters are.
It's very model, hardware, and use case dependent which is why a one size fits all solution doesn't work
They could ask your current agent to a) search for this type of content online for the optimal setup for their hardware b) have the current agent/harness spin it up have it verify the config run few experiments.
Sure AI may make mistakes, or won't get the best possible config probably, but it certainly do a good enough setup, this is a task with feedback on whether the server crashed or poor performance easily measured so the agent can do a pretty good job.
Because this is kinda the one new thing that arrived in the technology scene, so getting at least some amount of understanding of its "inner" workings might prove useful in the future.
Beside that, it is also just.. interesting? It's fun tuning the machine to see it improve. For some, anyway.
The pain point they raised is this is too complicated for people who just want to get started, that is not true anymore.
It is certainly fun to fine-tune and setup if you like do something like that, however the need to do it hardly is a barrier for those who don't want complexity as OP imagines.
Lower level API/interfaces should not be a barrier for people if they are apply framing that way. More and more people are thinking agent native so this is not really a issue.
Why this headache inducing lingo tho? What does that even mean, and why should I sign up for your webinar about that?
For Claude, I setting a single config file and then download and run Claude Code CLI. Even easier for the GitHub Copilot CLI.
