oh heck yeah this rocks. I'm gonna add to the links section

Additionally in terms of career development, you're going to be a lot better off learning the low level LLM interfaces rather than being dependent on a framework (or their even more evil cousin, platforms). Once you learn those, jumping to a platform is usually trivial, whereas the reverse can be more challenging. Junior devs often think that the more frameworks they have on their resume the better, but it often pigeonholes you more than it helps.

And I don't mean to imply that frameworks are always bad. Things like security best practices out of the box can be worth it. But especially in AI right now, nobody knows what those best practices are going to be. So it's best to spend this time learning how to do things at a low level rather than attaching to some framework that may be obsolete in a year.
