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

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.

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

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.

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