Oh pardon, I’m trying to sarcastically complain how a lot of comments in this thread have a similar form: “I used this pattern in my own agent, which is different from (all the other agents which use the same representation)”

Agentic development tends to encourage siloed individualistic development, so a lot of engineers reinvent similar patterns from first principles. It’s easier to write your own new thing than survey other approaches, so you’re more likely to perceive good ideas as original to your session.

As someone belonging to the group you just described, I like discovering things from first principles, and build them. It’s a big part of how I get to learn things, and find it fun.

This thread is helping me see how others addressed the same ideas.

I get and share criticism in the context of “AI hype startup culture”.

But out of it, this thread is really valuable for me mostly because of the links to codebases.

“Siloed individualistic development” openly shared is the part of HN I like most.

Good points, makes me reconsider. Than you. 100% keep going—this is how you learn! I hope my complaining about the commoditization AMA individualism of AI doesn’t add too much elitism or discouragement to the discussion, though rereading my post I definitely see how it could.

In a sense, sharing products in threads like this helps future people see what else has been done!

Oh I thought you were just one of them but stealth mode. That makes sense given the graph thing, thanks. Needed some caffeine and a nap.
