And you can just ask OpenClaw to do this for you: (another tip: have it pick a rando time for crons, so they don't all run on the tick of the hour which can really slow things down).

This was a great prompt btw. It'd make sense to add this to a weekly cron as well, which acts as a sort of self-healing OpenClaw bloat fixer.

Great idea by Alex 🎯 It's always a good idea to add some context to prompts you just copy off the internet.

Magento 3: Launching 2026-04-01

@SergiiShymko Thanks Sergii! There’s a light and dark mode on the site too 🌝

@MarkShust Absolutely beautiful docs! 😍

I just outdid Adobe by building the largest Magento 2 class reference in the world. Nearly 6,000 classes across 295 modules. Check it out at macade.my/FK3RHI

@Govikavaturi 12,000. Needs to pass UAT too 🤣

@MarkShust Adobe needs 6000 people for that 😂

@udaysy I always liked this definition of a genius: “the ability to articulately describe what’s in your head”. And I don’t think it’s ever been so important. Knowing what you CAN do, what the AI thinks you mean, and within the appropriate context. So hard, and a lot more fun than coding

@MarkShust right? feels like the skill equivalent of "oh you just told someone else to do it." like, yeah, but the telling IS the hard part

I haven't written any code in about six months. I'm still building things, but I don't actually type anything into an editor anymore. This has been messing with my head more than I expected…

@brunocfalcao Feels like our roles are definitely shifting more to the things that the AI can’t do or require taste and judgement, which at the moment are engineering and architecture. Higher up the stack!

@MarkShust Now you are a software engineer and not a software developer. I love it

@SergiiShymko Yea in a lot of ways it’s very similar. I think it can kinda be viewed as another way to outsource development, just at a larger and more pronounced scale.

@MarkShust Sounds exactly the same as a technical team lead reviewing work of an offshore dev team :)

@udaysy Not sure if we value it enough either!

@MarkShust yeah that gap messes with you. went from "i built this" to "i described this well enough that it got built." feels like a completely different job. not sure the industry has caught up to valuing it yet tho

@udaysy That's exactly it though -- "less satisfying but the results are better". That gap between what feels productive and what IS productive is this whole identity crisis in a sentence. I wonder if the satisfaction comes back once we stop comparing it to how coding used to feel.

@MarkShust honestly still figuring that out. right now its "did the thing i described actually ship and work." the feedback loop shifted from writing code to evaluating output. feels less satisfying but the results are better

@udaysy I need to ask: what do you measure your value by now? That's the hard part.

@MarkShust same thing happened to me. went from writing code daily for years to basically describing what i want built. the weird part is im more productive but it doesnt feel like it. took a while to stop measuring my value by lines written

I went looking for people having this conversation honestly, and couldn't find it anywhere. So I started something. It's just a place for experienced devs to talk about this stuff. That's it. Hope you check it out → themergeconflict.com

The way I think about it is a merge conflict. There's this version of me that wrote code for 25 years, and then there's this new version of me that doesn't. They're in the same file and git can't auto-resolve it. I have to look at both and decide what to keep.
