I'm really puzzled about LangChain. It looks like a lot of cruft and abstraction over something that is very simple. Every senior engineer I know feels the same way. Please explain why I'm wrong.

> Lisp’s unusual syntax is connected to its expressive power. How? Not because of “homoiconicity”, a word that has no meaning but leaves people somewhat impressed, because it sounds fanciful and mathematical. It’s because of uniformity.

No, it _is_ because of homoiconicity, which though a fancy word, does mean something: code is data. That is the reason Lisp syntax works. Clojure is less uniform, but it is still homoiconic, and that is why it has the same powers as CL.

The worst part of the keyboard is the touchbar. I'd say well over 50% of my attempts to adjust sound level fail due to triggering other functions. I've been using this thing for over a year, and I hate it more every day. I don't even have the option of getting a normal keyboard if I want the fastest mac. It is as though they did no user testing at all.
