The Founder-Parent Paradox: You're building a business to provide a better future for your family, but the act of building it takes you away from your family in the present. The ultimate balancing act.

@steipete @RhysSullivan Amen to that!

@RhysSullivan Build, best way to learn!

People freaking out over my AI spend. What nobody sees: Part of what excites me so much about working on OpenClaw is that I'm trying to answer the question: How would we build software in the future if tokens don't matter? We constant run ~100 codex in the cloud, reviewing every PR, every issue. If a fix on main lands, @clawsweeper will eventually find that 6 month old issue and close it with an exact reference. We run codex on every commit to review for security issues (as it's far too easy to miss). We run codex to de-duplicate issues and find clusters and send reports for the most pressing issues. We have agents that can recreate complex setups, spin up ephemeral crabbox.sh machines, log into e.g. Telegram, make a video and post before/after fix on the PR. There's codex that watch new issues and - if it fits our documented vision well, automatically create a PR of it. (that then another codex reviews) We have codex running that scans comments for spam and blocks people. We have codex instances running that verify performance benchmarks and report regressions into Discord. We have agents that listen on our meetings and proactively start work, e.g. create PRs when we discuss new features while we discuss them. We build clawpatch.ai to split all our projects into functional units to review and find bugs and regresssions. We do the same split for security with Vercel's deepsec and Codex Security to find regressions and vulnerabilities. All that automation allows us to run this project extremely lean.

@Hesamation That’s a very plausible theory 😂

bro spent $1.3M tokens, in 30 days. I'm convinced the reason Anthropic didn't hire Peter is that they simply didn't have enough compute for him.

@DanielSmidstrup For many client projects we need to be able to manual polish or change mockup content

@dedene Why use figma?

Claude Opus 4.7 is best for coding GPT 5.5 for design front-end Agree?

@DanielSmidstrup Yes, I use it a lot for start ideas before moving it in Figma

@dedene Well, I think the GPT image 2 is the best design tool right now.

@jlongster you know in zentty.org you can do > zentty grid 2x3 -- opencode and you get a much nicer experience with those same blondes, brunettes and redheads? and it keeps opencode’s theme fully in sync with the app’s theme 😁

You get used to it. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde... brunette... redhead...

@LLMJunky @MTSlive @thsottiaux Bbbut who’s gonna push the reset button now? 🥲

@MTSlive Congrats @thsottiaux you earned it. Strangely feels like we're losing you.

SITUATION DETECTED: OpenAI has announced a major reorg to unify ChatGPT and Codex. Greg Brockman is officially taking over all OpenAI products. Head of Codex Thibault Sottiaux moves to lead core product and platform, and Head of ChatGPT Nick Turley takes on enterprise products.

Okay, one very early observation with Grok Build. While I'm super impressed with it's ability to spec things out and it's attention-to-detail, it also seems to only work for 1-2 minutes. Having a hard time getting it to run for any longer stretches. It seems to run for a minute or two, and then come back to me asking for me to just respond with the word "next" I'm trying now to instruct it to keep running longer, will see what I can get it to do.

@laurensnys Any feedback is welcome! 🙏

@dedene Sure, will check it out - do like the ui of it

Soooo @conductor_build grok build, when?

@laurensnys And ofc Grok runs in it but with support I meant like agent status, notifications, session resume etc

@dedene Looks like a raw terminal/ cmux, the terminal doesnt support grok? Or there’s a ui running in front of it still?

@laurensnys It’s indeed similar to cmux, but with horizontal panes instead of tabs. I still live in the terminal most of my days, so while this started as an experiment, it’s so fun now to just build something that removes the frictions I felt in other terminal apps 😅

@cortesi @grok Yes. I also felt the usage limits are rather low

@dedene @grok The model is not competitive, and quotas, at $300 a month, are even worse than Claude $100 which is already un-generous. It's not possible to use this as a professional tool today. x.com/cortesi/status…

Somebody talk me out of this...

@thekitze Then better don’t switch from cooking to baking 😅

one thing that freaks me out about cooking is seeing how much butter is going into things. i always think it's a mistake in the recipe. i prefer not to know this shit man

@ContextVector @grok True. The 99$ promo softens it a little. We’ll see.

@dedene @grok $300/mo to beta-test a coding CLI is wild. I’d rather run Grok Build locally with the ChatGPT/Codex subscription I already pay for, plus the GPT models are much better than grok's latest. No extra subscription tax, same terminal workflow ↓ x.com/softmax3d/stat…

@thsottiaux codinception

We are busy bringing ChatGPT to Codex so that we can bring Codex to ChatGPT. One day this will make sense.

@gvanrossum That’s a sad waste of time 🫠

PyCon US has started! So far I am very disappointed in the first keynote -- it's just a product pitch and the speaker isn't that engaging. Sorry.

@initjean Building a browser? 👀

The Browser Company of The Netherlands

@igorhansachat @grok Its definitely much better then in the Grok-Code-Fast-1 days

@dedene @grok Nice! Good to know! I thought it still couldn't. Using X daily and haven't seen this! They should work on ads a bit😂

@igorhansachat @grok It surprised me

@dedene @grok Can it code now? I think it still can't? I mean something like codex/claude
