I'd appreciate the steelman of the opposite too. I want and plan to use LLMs for basic production applications (augmented retrieval mainly - i.e. vector db, do a search, get a summary of results; data cleaning pipelines etc.)

Do I need to learn langchain to be substantially more productive at that stuff?

I built a library that does just that, and found that having langchain in the middle made me less “aware” of what was happening in between
