i have it for more than 12 years. 8 years ago, I began to dont give a f“““ anymore. I now can go days and weeks without hearing it. Even when reading in silence. Sometimes, when my brain decides to losten to it again, I immediately start to distract myself. Sometimes for hours, until „I forget“

with LLMs, tests cost nearly nothing of effort but provide tremendous value.

And you know those tests are correct how?

Look at what they are testing.

> wow that's a lot of code, how will we ever review it?

>> have a model generate a bunch of tests instead

> wow that's a lot of test code, how will we know it's working correctly?

>> review it

do you have some reading material to share on this matter?

thanks already


I don't, but look into what the creators of Codex, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Kimi CLI, etc have said about the models. While these harnesses are advertised as coding specific we know that coding ability correlates with reasoning ability.

I ve just vibed for 2 weeks a pretty complex Python+Next.js app. I've forced Codex into TDD, so everything(!) has to be tested. So far, it is really really stable and type errors haven't been a thing yet.

Not wanting to disagree, I am sure with Rust, it would be even more stable.


how do you pay for that?


There are several services that offer detection as a service. Some have good free tiers.

But if you get popular then you better have a monetization strategy.

Imgur is a good case study I think.


By boiling the ocean


We don't know who struck first, us or them, but we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.


You can see it that way, but I think its a cynics mindset.

I experience it personally as super fun approach to experiment with the power of Agentic AI. It gives you and your LLM so much power and you can let your creativity flow and be amazed of whats possible. For me, openClaw is so much fun, because (!) it is so freaking crazy. Precisely the spirit that I missed in the last decade of software engineering.

Dont use on the Work Macbook, I'd suggest. But thats persona responsibility I would say and everyone can decide that for himself.


What have you done with it?


a lot of really fun stuff. From fun little scripts to more complex business/life/hibby admin stuff that annoyed me a lot (eg organizing my research). for instance i can just drop it a YT link in Telegram, and it then will automatically download the transcripts, scan them, and match them to my research notes. If it detects overlap it will suggest a link in the knowledge base.

Works super nice for me because i am a chaotic brain and never had the discipline to order all my findings. openClaw does it perfectly for me so far..

i dont let it manage my money though ;-)

edit: it sounds crazy but the key is to talk to it about everything!! openClaw is written in such a way that its mega malleable. and the more it knows , the better the fit. it can also edit itself in quite a fundamental way. like a LISP machine kind of :-)


What model do you use it with? And through which API, openrouter? Wondering how you manage cost because it can get quite expensive


I am dumb. I use Anthropic Api and Opus for some, Sonnet for other tasks. Accumulated quite some costs.

But i book it as a business expense , so its less painful as if it would be for private.

But yeah, could optimize for cost more


I agree. I call it my Extended Mind in the spirit of Clark (1). One thing I realized while working a lot in the last weeks with openClaw that this Agents are becoming an extension of my self. They are tools that quickly became a part of my Being. I outsource a lot of work to them, they do stuff for me, help me and support me and therefore make my (work-)life easier and more enjoyable. But its me in the driver seat.

wait until the agents read this, locate you, and plan their revenge ;-)


here goes my Monday


Funny thing is that his agent is perfectly capable of using upper- and lowercase correctly. Judging from his screenshots..
