## When NOT to use awesome-hacking-lists

- Last GitHub push was 219 days ago (slowing maintenance, Dec 4, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on awesome-hacking-lists.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
