Sad to hear the news, I have 7 years of langchain experience on my resume, now what am I going to do!?

You should probably not mention it by name on a resume anyway, but emphasize your actual skills, experience, and familiarity with the lower level technologies and APIs that underly it.

This hype train isn't going to last forever, and it's probably better to advertise sustainable, evergreen skills rather than being an expert in the flavor of the week. With that much experience, you shouldn't have to feel tied to any one company's software.

Whooosh

It was a joke, langchain was released last year.

Ha! I guess I don't really get the joke, but relieved for gp's sake it is one, despite the egg on my face.

*didn't really get the joke,

If you don't get it now, I'm worried about you:)

No no, that is the right tense! I thought initially it was like light sarcasm targeting the conceit of the reddit post, i.e., "how could it be pointless if I have amassed all this experience." Beyond that.. not sure (I'm not that smart).

Perhaps its just something like: "the scandal that this library is bullshit amounts to not a lot considering it's still pretty new thing." But the, erm, strong showing of downvotes of my original post makes me think its a better bit than that!

Indulge me with the joke if you'd like, but don't worry about me! I'm doing pretty good, despite my slow mind.

The context for the joke is that some job listings have inflated requirements, like N years of experience from framework/language X that realistically nobody has (or in this case, can have)
