Langchain is perfect to give you ideas for how to interact with LLMs, but for me it's been easier to implement everything myself than to use it.

I think I wrote pretty much the same comment here a few months ago. There's some good Langchain videos on YT to get you up to speed with the space in a day, then just go directly to the APIs you think are best suited to your problem.

Also: before using any new technology, go to hn.algolia.com and search HN for comments about it first.

I agree completely. I use it for inspiration and maybe a quick prototype to understand something, but I usually implement the pieces myself. Debugging LangChain performance and bugs is just an exercise in frustration.
