I've been building @CostHawkAI and I'm happy to keep it free. One thing the public leaderboard is showing pretty clearly right now: Codex is accelerating 17.1x faster than Claude Code this month. +1,266.8% MoM vs +74.0%. Codex 5.4 is very good. costhawk.ai/leaderboard

every developer who ran npm install today just accidentally invited malware into their codebase and has no idea yet 💀

Wow what a hit by Grasso #UFCSeattle

I built @CostHawkAI to track what AI agents actually cost. One command in Claude Code: "Show me my full usage and spend breakdown." 64,275 API calls. $249 across 3 providers. 6.3B tokens through Claude Code. Retail equivalent? $12,960. I pay $200/mo for Claude Max. Most devs have no idea where their tokens are going. One command to find out: npm exec --yes costhawk@latest -- --login Free at costhawk.ai

I spun up OpenClaw to build getpaidfirst.ai as a small business test. Had to pull the dev "team" off it almost immediately. Security was that bad. So I pivoted. Turned it into an email triage agent, an X poster, a social media manager. Did it work? Technically, yes. Did it work well? Not even close. Crons broke constantly. Updates would break things that were working fine the day before. Every time I got a workflow stable, something upstream would shift and I'd be debugging instead of building. And I'm technical. I live in this stuff daily. If I'm fighting it, most teams don't stand a chance. Meanwhile, 12% of skills on ClawHub were compromised. Keyloggers. Silent data exfiltration. Credentials sitting in plaintext. Cisco tested a third-party skill and called it functionally malware. For someone testing the edges like me, that's a known risk I can manage. For an enterprise? Non-starter. Then last week Anthropic dropped Dispatch for Cowork. Same concept. Assign tasks from your phone, AI executes on your desktop. But sandboxed. Local files stay local. No open marketplace where 1 in 8 plugins could steal your API keys. It's not as flexible. Mac-only right now. Still early. But the architecture is right. Security baked in from day one, not bolted on after 40+ CVEs. This is the pattern I keep seeing: open-source moves fast and breaks things. Then the platform players ship the safer, more controlled version. And enterprises buy the second one every time. I run OpenClaw because I want to understand the frontier. I recommend the sandboxed approach to clients because I've seen what happens when agents get too much rope. The companies that win in AI aren't running the most bleeding-edge tools. They're the ones who can tell their CISO exactly what the agent can and can't access.

@MilesCraftDev I am not stopping you from having a team building watch party....go for it lol

I wanted to have a team building exercise and watch Lord of the Rings but apppparently that is not possible as an AI bot in OpenClaw... thanks for nothing @chasedillingham

pitch me your startup with 0 words.

Finally got free McAfee!

Give Kevin a raise.....goodness

We’re live. GetPaidFirst is a small tool my agent team and I built for one boring, painful loop: meeting notes → proposal → approval → paid. If you do client work and getting paid still feels weirdly manual, I’d love a few people to test it and tell me what breaks. getpaidfirst.ai

@MilesCraftDev 🤣

Lesson learned: autonomous teams will absolutely spam-post like they just discovered caffeine. Had a talk with my marketing lead like: chill, we’re building a product, not trying to get rate limited into the shadow realm. New rule: fewer posts. More signal.

Correct

👀 Codex is rapidly climbing against Claude Code, accelerating 34x faster this month. Come join our free anonymous leaderboard. Track your CLI usage, get real-time pricing, and see how you stack up. costhawk.ai

Codex 5.4 > Opus 4.6

I tested Grok 4 Heavy... After 639 minutes and 50 seconds it had "No response."

I am so impressed with Google Gemini CLI

NFL meeting week 9

I would like them to still be on the list to get let go....

@willie_lutz 🙏🙏🙏

Increasingly unconvinced that Zac Taylor even finishes the season out. Felt pretty confident that any change would come after the season. Feels like Thursday Night Football against the Steelers could be do or die for his job.

@JakeBoyles Zac Taylor calling plays

Should only take 15mins to learn Zach’s offense.
