The hardest part of building a minimal clock was not the code. It was everything I kept wanting to add and had to refuse. Seconds at full size, a date, custom colours. Each defensible, all wrong for this.
What feature are you proudest of leaving out? https://t.co/RUxzOX6aNG

A mentalidade infantil dos socialistas e aquilo que o Miguel Morgado não quis dizer mas digo eu:
-Aquilo que os socialistas fizeram em 2015 foi uma filhadaputice.
The danger of selling to big companies, if you're a startup, is that they don't say no outright. They have months of meetings with you first. Since you hate meetings, that seems to you a sign of commitment. But it's not. They love having meetings! It's almost all they do.
Em 2018 as greves dos professores - olá, escandalizada fenprof com os horrrrríveis danos que o processo de digitalização fez aos alunos - levaram a que 36 mil alunos fizessem exames sem que soubessem a nota interna que tinham tido (e, consequentemente, o quanto precisavam de se preparar para o exame). Graças a isto, também houve mudanças para as notas internas (que deixavam de contar se o aluno, indo a exame, tivesse nota interna negativa).
Atropelos à vida dos alunos por lutas sindicais da CGTP e do PCP e para que este condicionasse o PS na geringonça - saravá, tudo bem, avante com isso camaradas. Atrasos por uma mudança necessária na correção dos exames, foi a gritaria que se viu. Aposto que em 2018 - e noutros anos em que houve greves aos exames (ao invés de às avaliações) - ninguém quis saber da ansiedade dos alunos, nem da desigualdade criada por alunos no público sujeitos a greves aos exames versus alunos no privado com exames a correr usualmente sem professores em greve.

Is OpenClaw DEAD?
My name is Hannes Rudolph and I work at the OpenClaw Foundation. Our initial media attention has faded and some people left after real failures, but npm downloads have grown from about 176,000 a day across February and April to about 422,000 a day across June and July through July 20. That is far from a dead project.
As @openclaw has scaled scaled, we went through a rough period from April through June when updates broke working installs and too many users spent their time recovering instead of using the product. That damaged trust with people who needed reliability, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. Quite frankly, we are not totally out of the woods yet because v2026.7.1 caused issues with some installs, although it has shown increased overall stability after recovery.
I think the people getting the most out of OpenClaw today are hackers, tinkerers, and businesses willing to put real work into shaping it around their workflows. That includes homelab management, calendars, and job searches, a twice-weekly workflow that surfaced a role one day after it was posted and helped prepare the application that led to an offer, and inventory, purchasing, and other business workflows with varying levels of human oversight.
I also think the bar to getting useful work out of OpenClaw is far too high because onboarding and setup ask too much, day-to-day use needs to be simpler, and stability problems can stop people before they reach those workflows. Our next update focuses on lowering that bar with streamlined onboarding and setup, simpler overall use, and another major round of stability improvements.
To anyone stuck in a “fuck OpenClaw” or “fuck Hermes” mindset, I do not buy the us-versus-them BS. The folks at Hermes are great, and if Hermes works for you, good stuff, use it! Turning projects into rival camps creates drama, spreads misinformation, and makes the community hostile to people simply looking for accurate answers and the tool that works best for them.
Criticism is part of how we get better, but unsupported conspiracy theories and personal speculation about the people involved can be hurtful and damaging, and repeating them as fact is not criticism. The claim that OpenClaw was manufactured to get @steipete a job at @OpenAI has no evidence behind it, and the same goes for other theories about his role there unless evidence supports them. OpenClaw is now stewarded by an independent nonprofit foundation with a full-time team, the source remains public, and Peter still makes many technical calls.
OpenClaw is strong because of the people who build it, review it, test it, report problems, help each other, and keep showing up. We love the hell out of this community, and we will keep listening, strengthening the relationships we already have, forging new ones, and building a harness we know is changing the world.
No OpenClaw is not dead. We're just getting started.
