Been using tilt as a make alternative for years. Great tooling, even as just file watch + pythonic syntax for running tests, etc. Obvs the real magic is the live syncing patches into remote containers…

this is cool. curious what other examples folks have seen. Probably lots of content creation/management tools in general - figma, github, etc. Any examples of this in lower level devtools? I thin…

this is probably good advice, but seems a little off to use "customer" in an article that feels like its trying to appeal to everyone, not just customers of langchain > If you do use a fr…

*probably :)

control is good, and determinism is good - while the primary goal is to convince people "don't give up too much control" - there is a secondary which is: THESE are the places where it m…

yeah. the issue is when you're baked into a tool stack/framework where you cant go customize in that 1% of cases. A lot of tools try to get the right abstractions where you can "cus…

i'd be interested to check it out here's a take, I adapted this from someone on the notebookLM team on swyx's podcast > the only way to build really impressive experiences in AI, is …

interesting - I think I have to side with the Boundary (YC W23) folks on this one - if you want bleeding edge performance, you need to be able to open the box and hack on the insides. I don't agr…

this guide is great, i liked the "chat interfaces are dumb" take - totally agree. AI-based UIs have a very long way to go

excellent work on BAML and love it as a building block for agents

Typed outputs from an LLM is a game changer!

Yeah definitely. I think the pattern I see people using most is “start with slow, expensive, but low dev effort, and then refine overtime as you fine speed/quality/cost bottlenecks worth inv…

cool thing about open source is you can work on whatever you want, and it’s the best way to meet people who do similar work for their day job as well

I link in a few places to https://github.com/got-agents/agents where I have a few of these real agents

it can be done! I believe!

this guy gets it

fair enough. I think switch statement is a broader category for "basic programming primitives that you should just do yourself" - agree big switch statements can be an anti-pattern, e.g. whe…

Yeah duplication way better than the wrong abstraction. Just write the dang switch statement

i would accept a PR to add this to the bonus section

funny you say > I have learned 80% the hard way because the other working title for this was "Agents the Hard Way" (in the spirit of https://github.com/kelseyhightower…

exactly - we keep trying to figure out the right interfaces, but we jump to assume that we know what they are. If we had the right interface, we would set up the black box, and then put holes/kno…

oh heck yeah this rocks. I'm gonna add to the links section

This is a great bit of feedback - what kinda of use cases do you think would make sense? Definitely wanna evolve this in the open with the community

They kept telling me automation would do my chores so we could spend more time on writing and art. I write less and still have to do my own laundry

Yup

i try not to take a hard stance on any tool or framework - the idea is take control of the building blocks, and you can still bring most of the cool LLM ops / LLM observability techniques to bear…

THIS so much. People are like "why human supervision when we can have agent supervsion" and always respond > look if you don't trust the LLM to make the thing right in the first plac…
