You Are Not Alone
Support for survivors of LangChain
Our Mission
We provide support, resources, and a safe space for developers, organizations, and venture capitalists who have suffered through:
Dependency Hell
Navigating through endless dependency conflicts for packages you don't even need
API Dysfunction
Deciphering cryptic and inconsistent APIs reminiscent of early 2000s PHP
Spaghetti Architecture
Untangling impossible-to-debug code structures
Wheel Reinvention
Subjection to novel solutions for already long-solved problems
Investor Driven Development
Reverse-engineering a stack from things your investor overheard at brunch
Code Quality Gaslighting
Claims of production use causing you to question your sanity
Common Symptoms
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stack Disorder)
Flashbacks to dependency resolution errors, mind-bending resource use, and Jupyter notebooks as documentation
Fear of Simplicity
Paralyzing terror any time a greatly overcomplicated solution is not proposed
Vibe Coding Dependency
Finding yourself so repulsed by the codebase that you just let the LLM do whatever it wants
"One morning it hit me: I was downloading an operating system's worth of code to basically use f-strings. What had I become?"
~ Jeff, Software Developer
"I was obsessed. My daughter was born around that time; I hope when my little girl LangSusan grows up, she will understand."
~ Sarah, VC Partner
"Three weeks ago, we sent our lead engineer Dave into the codebase to try and find a parsing error. We will all miss you, Dave."
~ Mike, Full Stack Developer
"I signed off on funds for a simple chatbot. Now we've had to raise another funding round just to cover the storage and compute costs."
~ Lisa, CFO
"I am pretty sure the release we pinned has our k8s cluster mining crypto for some guy in Tibet."
~ Sumar, Data Engineer
"I wake up in the night screaming sometimes; I am haunted by visions of breaking-change minor versions and I don't know if I will ever be whole again."
~ Lorgen, AI Engineer
