The "framework first, concepts later" trap is so real. I run a small team of agents in production, and every hard bug we've hit lived exactly in the layers this repo makes you build by hand — tool-call parsing, retry policies, and what memory actually persists between sessions. Building a ReAct loop once without abstractions changes how you read framework docs forever. Cloning this — thank you!
Yes this is exactly the part that gets underestimated. The moment you’ve built even a simple ReAct loop and dealt with retries + memory yourself, you start reading frameworks in a completely different way. Appreciate you sharing this
Exactly, Hana — once you’ve hand-rolled retries and memory, you read a framework as “here’s the abstraction I earned,” not “here’s the magic.” I keep the hand-rolled version around just to remember what the framework is actually saving me from.
