"I hacked on an open source package (deepagents) over the weekend." Thanks but no thanks.

  most of these agents are still fundamentally simple while loops; it shouldn't really take longer than a weekend to get one built

  Hacker hacks on project and gets posted to Hacker News. Commenter on Hacker News: No thanks, no hacking please.

    It's on langchain's official page, a framework that looks like it was hacked over the weekend by a fresh grad that brought a lot of pain to the agentic development, and this just feels like piling up more pain on it.

  Some of the biggest software in use today was hacked over few days in its first versions. Git is a famous one.

    Absolutely not. Linus had git in his brain and it took a few days to write a first version but multiple years of learning

    Let's pretend BitKeeper didn't exist. Also, that's one way to misinterpret what was said. I acknowledge there are some well-designed pieces of software that were hacked quickly. LangChain is not one of them, it's a mess, and hacking another module quickly is likely going to extend that mess, which was the reason for my comment.
