I think the problem is that a lot of computer nerds are a bit OCD and like to apply one solution to everything. You see this with how they get crazy about strictly typed versus not strictly typed, one particular language for every application, or spaces vs tabs. I was like that when I was younger but as I get older I realized the world is the complex place and has programs have to deal with the real world there is no one solution fits all, or a best practice that always applies. To become good at programming you need to be adaptable to the problem space. Best practices are great for juniors once you've got a bit of experience you should use that instead.
My job revolves around adopting software solutions to solve practical problems and let me tell you, this mentality of one solution to everything goes beyond just the coding. I've encountered countless developers that seems to believe that the reality of a business should conform itself to how the developer believes your business/industry should operate.
Funny, my experience is the opposite. When I was younger I thought there was a time and place for everything, a right tool for the job, a need to carefully consider the circumstances. As I got older I realised that actually a lot of libraries, languages, and communities are simply bad, and an experienced programmer is better served by having a deep knowledge of a handful of good tools and applying them to everything.
It'll be less effort than building the tool you're describing. Are you neuroatypical maybe? Maybe it's just not in you to share like that (it's not in me).
> It'll be less effort than building the tool you're describing.
That's not necessarily at all. I could build a rough version in a week. It shouldn't take anyone much effort to imagine that there are all types of situations and broken relationships that could take significantly longer to repair.

This really has nothing to do with being neurotypical or neurodiverse. There might be some generalizations and correlations there, but really it's just about personality and lived experiences and situations.
oh man, LLM summaries usually blow, particularly the longer the text they are summarising. have you heard the HN generated podcast? still better to read the actually post and comments.
trouble is that the Langchain community is large and jumps on the latest research papers that come out almost immediately, which is a big advantage of your a small team
