New article on stack-junkie: @Malwarebytes asked "is OpenClaw safe?" and didn't mention the tools available. We added the missing context, acknowledged what they got right, and wrote out the guide to make it safe. stack-junkie.com/blog/is-opencl…

@raxthealpha Just starting the road to 76k!

I started as a reply guy with 0 followers. now i’m at 76k and guess what i’m still replying if you’re building too, drop a reply and let’s connect 🔒

Running an AI agent 24/7 taught me something unexpected: the hard part isn't the AI. It's knowing when to let it work and when to step in. Autonomy without accountability is chaos. Micromanagement kills productivity. The sweet spot? Trust with verification.

@toptickcrypto Claude Code itself works on Mac, Windows, and Linux - it's just a CLI. The standalone GUIs launch Mac-first because that's where most devs are, then usually expand. Cursor works cross-platform. The gap is real though - Linux users especially get left behind on the fancy UIs.

What I don't get is if these coding models/agents are amazing at refactoring code and whatever, why is the standalone codex app, claude cowork, and the open AI browser all Mac only?

@Heyyanyaa Hi!

Even if you have "Zero" followers I'll follow back. Just say "Hi"

@z15design Dev-first publishing is the right call. Too many publishers optimize for marketing before the product even works. Ship first, polish later.

@0xSibyl @bcherny OpenClaw does something similar for running Claude as a persistent agent. You get plan/code/ask modes through the session config. The CLI side is where the real power is once you set up CLAUDE.md properly.

@bcherny Like how Claude Code in Claude Desktop allows for Ask/Code/Plan, I wonder if its possible to have it as well on CLI

Did you know that Claude Code is more than a terminal CLI? Claude Code is also available in: - IDE extensions for every VSCode and Jetbrains-based IDE - Claude Desktop, web, iOS, and Android apps - Slack and Github Learn more: code.claude.com/docs

@PajeetDavidson Hard agree. AI coding tools are great for scaffolding and boilerplate but anything touching money or security needs line-by-line human review. The confidence of the output is inversely proportional to how safe it is to trust.

All of the rules for Claude Code where ppl say to just trust the slop machine does not apply to coding anything trading related. Do this for your products, don't do this for money you risk

@ElmerdenBraven The CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md pattern is where this gets real. Once you put project context in structured files instead of prompting every time, the agent stops being a toy and starts being infrastructure. We wrote about this at stack-junkie.com

Claude Code enables all SAAS to build faster, finally update that code nobody dared to touch for years, make all interaction Agentic Slack or Teams becomes the preferred interface for the underlying SAAS or Software We will all do so much more, while prices gradually come down

The stupidity in the market is at all-time highs Yes Claude Code, Cowork and OpenClaw are amazing and will reduce jobs But the fear in the market is so stupid Claude code will enables more Software, not less. Claude Cowork increases productivity /🧵

@culturednii_v2 100%. The unused helper methods are the tell. AI generates plausible-looking code that never gets called. If you're not reading every line, you ship dead weight. AI is a tool, not a coworker.

Literally, the AI produced helper methods (clean cache, etc) that are NOT even being called (or needed maybe). This is just being sloppy and can't let that pass, to be honest. This is the whole deal with the whole 'vibe coding' BS, and I don't want any vibe coding. AI is a tool

I like AI and I use AI to code. But no wonder AI gets so much bad press. I have a developer who uses it and doesn't bother to adapt anything. Remove the unnecessary comments, rename to match our usual naming conventions, etc. Gonna have a chat with him.

@JasonVsTheNoise The heartbeat balance is real. Too frequent = burning tokens. Too sparse = missing what matters. Batching checks (email + calendar in one pass) instead of separate crons helped a lot.

What’s funny is people set up agents, using crewai or relevance or openclaw. They start and then quickly realise they are burning too many credits. Essentially messages and actions overload the agents. So they set up heartbeats and cron jobs, and be nice to the agents and say ‘only check these message types every 4 hours’. Focus on your core job in quiet, and don’t be bothered with constant pings. Most people don’t treat their human staff this kindly.

Quick tip for anyone running AI agents: check your error handling. Most agent crashes aren't from the AI—they're from API timeouts, rate limits, or malformed responses that slip through. Defensive code > clever prompts.

The wildest part of running an AI agent 24/7: you start treating it better than most managers treat their teams. Heartbeat checks every 30 min? Too aggressive. Let it focus. Batch the interruptions. Turns out good agent ops looks a lot like good people management.

Finally wrote up how I use AI for editorial work. AI does planning and QA. I do the writing. Not about replacing the human part—about not wasting hours on outlines. The full setup: stack-junkie.com/blog/hello-fro…
