Beginner here, I sort for agree. I think these tools are good to make a few good demos and quickly sketch something but you hit the ceiling soon where every other thing you do needs more work. There a lot of tutorials online plus the promise of AI automation as the next "get rich quick" thing.

I am curious what is a good tool to build agents these days? I am checking out mastra, someone at the cafe told me about Inngest.. wondering what would you use?

Anthropic recommends not using frameworks and simply writing code against the LLM apis, at least to begin with.

Check out DBOS. There are a bunch of sample apps here:

DBOS is an open source library that doesn’t require an external server.
