1. People don't like medium, rightly so.
reply2. The content is lower quality.
I find it hard to agree with the point that the content quality is low. Of course, that design does have some issues. But it is still valuable and worth reading.
replyThe strengths are that the design forces Chain of Thought as a memory buffer and the TODO list in an FSM style. I think those are fine. The recovery strategy is also pretty good.
However, the problem is that the business logic does not run as Python code but lives inside the prompt. And it does not support parallel execution. But as a single run script, it is helpful enough for understanding the concept.
Of course, if I were to do the code properly, I would use a separate storage instead of in memory, and more carefully verify tool constraints and the actual scope limitations of the tools. But still, I think this is helpful enough.
The recovery strategy in my mind would be what to do in case of a crash, which would just wipe out all the context here (scratch pad, todo list, etc) - it doesn't seem very recoverable.
replyThis is the difficult part of programming debates. What you mentioned is about the TODO list disappearing immediately when Python shuts down, right? What I was talking about is the point where the LLM retries when something goes wrong due to a mistake in the previous task. Actually, that's why I included the sentence 'If I were to do the code properly, I would use a separate storage instead of in memory.' I guess I unintentionally caused some confusion.
replyYeah, I clicked through and saw that prompting but I would consider that more of a retry mechanism and wanted to clarify.
replyYou are right. I am not being critical of you. I just wanted to say that I wrote my comment in a somewhat confusing way. English is not my native language, so it might have come across as a bit harsh
replyNo harshness detected, and yeah, even when everyone is speaking the same language the jargon is always hyper specific.
replyI agree with 1, same for substack. bearblog seems cool tho
replyI don't think the content is low quality, though.
Seems odd that it would get upvoted to the front page then in the first place?
