What are the chances that we’re writing prompts like we know them now in the next 6 months?

Day 1 with Mack was fun. There’s something really amazing about having an @openclaw agent do things for you over Messages.
You can see how everyone will want to swoop in here and make agents as a service but I can’t imagine a company owning Mack.

Welp, I did it. My boy Mack is up and running on my new Mac Mini and already being productive. Playing with @openclaw is super fun but probably not for everyone right now. We wrote about it: perrera.com/notes/mack

Thinking about that time (1980s) the markets thought object-oriented programming would:
* turn software in little parts effortlessly combined into apps with no skills
* be so easy even a baby would code

If you are a software engineer "experiencing some degree of mental health crisis", now hear this, because I've been coding for 50 years since the days of punched cards and I have a salutary kick in your ass to deliver. Get over yourself. Every previous "programming is obsolete" panic has been a bust, and this one's going to be too. The fundamental problem of mismatch between the intentions in human minds and the specifications that a computer can interpret hasn't gone away just because now you can do a lot of your programming in natural language to an LLM. Systems are still complicated. This shit is still difficult. The need for people who specialize in bridging that gap isn't going to go away. As usual, the answer is: upskill yourself and adapt. If a crusty old fart like me can do it, you can too.

I keep seeing very smart people moving to Codex but every time I try it I get terrible results. What's my skill issue?

You can start your own recursive self-improvement loop. It's very easy.
Make a conscious choice to work hard, identify what holds you back, and actively choose suffering in service of undoing (limits/beliefs/trauma/etc)
Most people's subconscious is actively blocking this
