WHY WE NO LONGER USE LANGCHAIN FOR BUILDING OUR AI AGENTS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Octomind decided to stop using LangChain for building AI agents despite initially finding it helpful. LangChain's high-level abstractions made its code more complex and difficult to maintain, especially as its requirements became more sophisticated. The company advocates for a "building blocks" approach using simple, low-level code with carefully selected external packages.
