How does Lerobot prevent « full control » and « understanding »? I thought this was an open source library.

I am not an official supporter of the library but am asking out of curiosity.

For understanding: I think the level is much deeper if I wrote the code vs reading someone else’s. Same applies to coding agents of course which is why I wrote most of it myself and only delegate some tasks (for example codex was great help at setting up telemetry dashboards or writing the custom glfw renderer).

On control: LeRobot will change all the time and I’ll be unaware of what changed. If something suddenly doesn’t work anymore, it’s a pain to find out. I can of course fork or pin but that defeats the purpose a bit.

At the end it’s also partially just preference: I wanted to write this layer myself, and I have opinions about how it should be architected, so I did.
