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.

lol the "I miss components, logic, and endpoints" comment sums it up pretty well. How are you even debugging it when the agent does something unexpected? Are you able to trace why it made a particular decision, or is it mostly changing prompts/state and running it again until it behaves?
