It's not like he was the only one who came up with this idea. I built something like that without knowing about GasTown or Beeds. It's just an obvious next step

I also share your confusion about him somehow managing to dominate credit in this space, when it doesn't even seem like Gastown ended up being very effective as a tool relative to its insane token usage. Everyone who's used an agentic tool for longer than a day will have had the natural desire for them to communicate and coordinate across context windows effectively. I'm guessing he just wrote the punchiest article about it and left an impression on people who had hitherto been ignoring the space entirely.

It was a fun article!

Exactly! I built something similar. These are such low hanging fruit ideas that no one company/person should be credited for coming up with them.

Seriously, I thought that was what langchain was for back in 2023.

Seriously, what is langchain? It’s so completely useless. Clearly none of the new agents care about it or need it. Irrelevant.

Agree, langchain was useless then and completely irrelevant now, but the idea that we need to orchestrate different LLM loops is extremely obvious.
