Have you built your own agent instead of using openclaw or Hermes, how’s it going for you?

Explain Like I'm Normal

Developers are increasingly ditching heavy agent frameworks like OpenClaw and Hermes to build custom orchestration logic from scratch. This shift highlights a growing need for granular control over tool-calling and prompt-chaining that off-the-shelf wrappers often obscure. The community consensus is that roll-your-own agents offer better debugging and less 'magic' interference for production use cases.
