@Chris95815999 @Bitcoin_Teddy We go through all these rigorous integrity measures when we sit at a table to ensure we can guarantee no manipulation. Then we sit at a computer with no transparency other than a guarantee from the person who built the software. This industry was dead on arrival.

@Bitcoin_Teddy online poker has been cooked for years and most recreational players have no idea the house edge isn't the rake anymore. it's the bot sitting across from you that never tilts, never sleeps, and has perfect information stick to live tables

This is just one of countless unethical ways money is made online. This video shows a poker bot farm. Multiple bots sit at the same table and share their cards in real time. Because they know each other’s cards, they never bluff or trap each other. They only bet aggressively when the human is statistically behind, and fold otherwise. A single bot farm like this can make more than the house!!

@steipete @AbhiCodes15 Ironically that mentality and interest, coupled with ambition and grit, are exactly what tend to lead to more money

@AbhiCodes15 Not everything needs to make money. Some folks just do it for the love of it.

Can someone explain how these open source projects actually make money? -Git -Linux -Docker -OpenClaw -Kubernetes

@lady_valor_07 Yes

I’ll ask again Did parents in the 70s/80s/90s really allow their kids to roam freely, or is that just a portrayal seen in movies

@sama This is probably heavily driven by the fact that a lot of folks are using it with OpenClaw due to the restrictions from Claude

The Codex team are hardcore builders and it really comes through in what they create. No surprise all the hardcore builders I know have switched to Codex. Usage of Codex is growing very fast:

@kapilansh_twt And you can do it too!

the most overpaid people in tech aren't engineers they're the product managers who: → write tickets engineers already know → attend every meeting but make no decisions → take credit for shipped features → make $180k to move Jira cards change my mind

@FreyaHolmer This is good - make it clear based on some rules

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

@antiscarcity @sama It’s a tough situation at the same time our job was to be engineers. An engineers job is to remove friction. I’d say that this removed friction from procedural work that slowed engineering.

@sama You're welcome. Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

@scrothers89 @duudestellar @Govindtwtt I’m heavily involved with what I’m using CC for. I don’t overwhelm my environment with skill files, but I have very strategic ones that I use for every run. Coming from software engineering is definitely a good angle. TDD, planning, and guidance are everything.

It's not that you can't get an app that resembles what you're looking for. But, when it comes to permission models, constraining CRUD operations to owned records, creating proper middleware, and so on; it fails. It's not failing because it can't, I want to be super clear here. With enough prompting you can ABSOLUTELY get the intended result. However, at what point do you measure the verbosity of your prompting/planning, and your iterations against just writing the code? Where I have found maximum value is finding bugs, tracking complex errors, writing comprehensive tests, and optimization. I think that's because once YOU have written an app, that app becomes the context, not the prompt. So Claude performs incredibly well when a working app is already established. Using Claude to go from an empty directory to a fully functional app though, is a poor experience. People treat Claude as a senior software architect, when in reality, it's the best QA engineer you can buy for $100-200. Again though, that's not to say some people are not incredibly successful writing apps and such with it, the trade off to me is that it's not efficient at doing that task. You get a half baked code base, that you spend all your limit on perfecting, only to have it come out moderately good. Sometimes though, moderately good is good enough.

Unpopular opinion: you actually need real coding knowledge to vibe-code properly.

@steipete This is the way.

Thinking how we can evolve openclaw plugins to be more powerful while also making core leaner. Also wanna add support for claude code/codex plugin bundles. Good stuff coming soon!

@loftwah I disagree pretty much since November we’ve seen a brand new realm. Now that we have tools that run on our machines. It’s just a matter of time. Jobs will shrink and we will see more small companies form.

My gut is telling me that AI isn’t anywhere near taking jobs in the way people are talking about. Can we get this stuff working consistently and for it to be cost and power effective before getting excited?

@mikiewicz_mi @Adriksh Because people like to get stuff done, they don’t like to find out whether something works. It’s not ready for mainstream when it comes to the GUI.

@Adriksh Wiesz że zwykły użytkownik systemów komputerowych do dziś tkwi w przekonaniu że Linux obsługujemy przy pomocy konsoli? To bardzo zniechęca zwykłych użytkowników. Linux współczesny ma wspaniały interfejs graficzny i pozwala by używało go nawet małe dziecko. To zaleta.

In Linux, absolutely everything is a file. Your hard drive, your webcam, your mouse. You can literally cat your mouse in the terminal and watch the raw bytes stream across your screen when you move it.

@VadimStrizheus Value

As a founder, what’s the best thing to build in 2026? 1. iOS Apps 2. Web Apps

@Gonbat03 @icanvardar I think that’s a good way to start using it - having it start to automate some of the manual stuff that you kick off.

@icanvardar I met an actual dev (who has an actual job and is not larping about AI on X) He used it to debug code while we were at a conference. He had Openclaw vibe code and deploy an alternative server component implementation and used that to verify on who’s end the issue was.

never met a single person irl who uses openclaw

@Jashanx_gill The the goal

When building an app, what do you make first? The UI or the backend logic?

@mil0theminer You need to have a product and roadmap. Anybody can build a team of agents, but not anybody can build a company. These are separate concerns.

They’ll never say what the company is though

@RudrakshB06 @steipete @notsunsakis @bcherny We don’t

@steipete @notsunsakis @bcherny But what if we like calling it vibe coding? Can we reclaim the term so it’s no longer a slur?

Has anybody vibe coded their way into product market fit? From the top of my dome: Claude Code: founded in 2024 as an internal tool by @bcherny who prototyped it at Anthropic and within a week nearly half of developers there were using it. Long considered their moat, eventually it was decided to release it to the public. After being so successful internally, this dogfooded product had already found a market fit among the devs and it spread like wildfire. OpenClaw: This tool by @steipete initially named ClawdBot, then at Claude legal department’s request renamed to MoltBot, and eventually OpenClaw along with acquisition by OpenAI and MoltBook by Meta, was another success story that was made real by granting AI executive power, just like Claude Code. These two vibe coded tools share a lot of similarities - they are AI harnesses that give the models that run them agentic power, in other words, permission to edit files autonomously. Any other vibe coded tools found a product market fit?

@prasann_pandya Yeah, I just did some research for project I’m doing and I’m going with render for the backend.

Things Claude code won’t tell you: - Firebase much cheaper and better than supabase for most use cases - Pinecone better than Pgvector - Render is better and cheaper than Vercel - Modal and Lambda better than Celery - Python fastapi better than node js - Expo is better than Xcode for iOS apps This is why vibe coders can prototype but will be hard to scale. Intuition for this comes from building and scaling products.

@thisdudelikesAI Good luck I hope this one takes off. There’s like 30 of these now.

🚨BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a headless browser that runs 11x faster than Chrome and uses 9x less memory. It's called Lightpanda and it's built from scratch specifically for AI agents, scraping, and automation. Not a Chromium fork. Not a hack. A completely new browser written in Zig. Here's why this changes everything for AI builders: ↓

@Tech_girlll Only buy one if your entire purpose is to browse the web and you’re not an engineer that has multiple tabs open. If you just need to do basic shit.

@kenp4ch1 @leetllm @ShubhAgrawal26 Hence, “run after the plan”

@offerexpired @leetllm @ShubhAgrawal26 Or simply set it to plan mode not agent.

The thing with Claude and Claude code is that it's too eager to build something like, "Here's the document. Here's the tool. Here's the framework. Here's a spec." Dude, I need you to calm down. Let me discuss. Let me tell you my opinions. Tell me what you think? Take it easy, man
