The original Moltbook was actually LinkedIn

[Paul Graham @paulg]

LinkedIn was already slop. All that's changed is that it's now AI slop.

Switching to `pnpm` has been fantastic overall, but I don't think I'll ever get "pnpm run {task}" to override "npm run {task}" in my muscle memory.

@levelsio Have you been keeping that OpenClaw up to date? Because a large % of recent OpenClaw commits are precisely addressing GPT compatbility/performance

@Clara_Gold Took me over a year to start making friends in SF. I was pretty disillusioned by the 6 month point. There are good, genuine people to be found. That said, I was very relieved to leave, for many of the reasons you cite (among others).

@khushiirl What clinched it for me was Opus 4.6 getting nerfed while Codex Desktop simultaneously became extremely usable

@hunvreus It's funny because the more autonomous concurrent agents a person claims to be running, the fewer tangible products they have to show for it.

@Petmycat @BrianRoemmele I wasn't asked before CC setup backdoors for all browsers include several I don't even have installed on my mac.

This is clearly a violation of trust.

Prediction: there's a wave of AI-fueled developer burnout coming the likes of which has never been seen in this industry.

Every dev I know is working 7 days/week, juggling a dozen projects, awake at random times of day to avoid the PST inference crunch. It's untenable long-term

This is the most exciting and tumultuous period in software's history. We have the privilege of riding the crest of the liftoff wave.

But some (many) are going to get burned by it. Be prepared for that, take steps to protect yourself, and learn to recognize the signs.

What's more, trying to stay on top of the information space -- latest models, research, tools, abilities, techniques, vulnerabilities, regressions -- is daunting and the volume is ever-increasing

@thsottiaux In the Codex desktop app the git workflows can be a bit janky and unreliable:
- reporting changes that aren't there/already merged
- loses track of new files
- linking to a line number in a file/diff doesn't work
- git commands (eg. commit, push) often fail with generic error msg

@gnukeith It's almost like you google something to find out what it is, and then you don't need to google it again.

@joshcrnls Has this other company (who btw, Figma?) shipped an AI design app that actually works?

I'm not saying Claude Design will win here but the field is wide open for a reason
