FWIW, I don't think the GP post is disparaging (at least as I read it right now.)

I think it is fair to list limitations from using a library that provides an abstraction; it can suggest why a tool isn't right for a person's use cases.

But it also sounds like this API handles those pretty well.

The issue is that it’s relatively low effort to make false and unverified claims. Defending and refuting it is a much higher effort task for the person doing the work to everyone else’s benefit.

RubyLLM dev literally had to take time to provide code samples and doc links.

No issue with listing legit limitations, but be a bro and fact check claims before wasting a volunteer’s time - and potentially leading other developers on a public board astray.
