Show Notes
The AI tooling space is drowning in nomenclature, with over 2,300 results for "AI framework" alone. This episode dissects the technical definitions behind libraries, frameworks, toolkits, and SDKs, exploring why the lines have blurred and how marketing incentives have inflated the term "framework." We also examine the dangerous "long tail" of abandoned niche projects and the hidden maintenance debt they create for developers.
