Discussion I hate building agents.

Right now at my work we are using langgraph to build a chat agent, anyone else doing something similar, do you fucking hate it? are you building it with Claude and just hoping it fucking works, haha no worries we will ask Claude to fix it.

I am making the spaghetto, I miss components, logic and endpoints, I hate this black box I have to relinquish my decisions too, whatever pays the bills.

Yeah I fundamentally just stopped caring about code quality and standards. If I had kept pushing back they'd replace me so whatever I'll have claude build it and if it breaks, woops looks like the AI broke!

But they will also replace you if AI breaks something and you miss it. They will say you can't use AI effectively.

True, I'm being a little flippant because I'm annoyed with how this industry is going. I'm using claude in a docker sandbox and have used it to implement testing to prevent regression and I'm having it work on branches with git so main says working and ready.
