Hot take: most agent frameworks are solving the wrong problem

The bottleneck in agent systems isn't the framework. It's not LangChain vs CrewAI vs your custom thing.

It's observability and failure handling.

Every team I've talked to that's running agents in production has the same two problems: they can't debug failures fast enough, and they can't predict costs.

The framework wars are a distraction. Build your agents with whatever. But invest 10x more in your monitoring, tracing, and fallback logic than in your prompt chains.
