Better, But at What Complexity?
I spent last week reading the source of two serious pieces of agent infrastructure — Google’s Agent Substrate and ax, its “Agent Executor” — and holding them up next to my own little launcher, agentdev. I went in half-expecting to feel foolish about my homegrown thing. And I did. Substrate and ax are better. Genuinely, no-contest, better-engineered better. AND… they’re better at a problem I don’t have. Both of those are true.
