Dev Argues PAW Shouldn't Hide Its Complexity, Points to DSPy as the Better Playbook
willcb · x · 2026-09-21
After PAW's author explained its compile-once/run-many architecture, willcb argued the system is genuinely complex and that hiding it behind "just 3 lines of code" marketing does the project a disservice — as a researcher and developer he'd want to understand that complexity. He believes "just like jev but local and open source" is the wrong positioning, since jev is very clear about what it is and isn't. His advice: study how DSPy organically built its community and marketing, as a closer parallel for managed complexity with a simple developer-facing UI blending local and remote execution.
