Excited to announce that I've just published TWO books on Amazon! 🎉

As a Senior DevOps Engineer working daily with cloud infrastructure and AI-powered tools, I felt the urgency to help fellow engineers navigate what's arguably the biggest shift in our industry.

I received with sadness the heartbreaking news of the passing of young and talented Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, whose death has left the Nigerian entertainment industry and millions of admirers across the country mourning.

On behalf of myself and everyone who values the immense contributions of our young creatives to nation-building, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues in Nollywood, and the countless fans whose lives he touched through his craft.

At moments like this, we are reminded once again of the fragility of life and the importance of living with kindness, compassion, and a sense of purpose. Though his journey was cut short, the memories he created and the joy he brought to many through his performances will continue to live on.

I pray that God Almighty grants his family the strength and comfort to bear this painful loss, and may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. -PO

Anthropic is starting to ban Pro/Max accounts for using OpenClaw.

Don’t risk your main account. 🛑

I’ve been running OpenClaw + Claude Code through the MiniMax M2.5 provider for $20/month.

It’s "unlimited" for dev work and completely bypasses the ban wave since you’re using a dedicated API gateway.

The setup:
- Get the $10/$20 Coding Plan at https://t.co/y5GQ8l9EtH.
- Grab the API key from the "Direct Account" sidebar.
- Update your settings.json (Windows) or .zshrc (Mac) with the MiniMax endpoint.

Claude Code (Windows):
Go to ~/username/.claude/settings.json

Paste your API key into this JSON:

{
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://t.co/9hCDEebkRZ",
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "<MINIMAX_API_KEY>",
"API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3000000",
"CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC": 1,
"ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5",
"ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5",
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5",
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5",
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5"
}
}

Claude Code (macOS):
In ~/.zshrc add:

export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your_minimax_api_key_here"
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://t.co/9hCDEebkRZ"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="$MINIMAX_API_KEY"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="MiniMax-M2.5"

🚨 Microsoft AI CEO: Your white collar job is gone in 18 months

That's basically everyone reading this on their work computer right now.

Welcome to the AI revolution. Your degree's worthless and your mortgage is due.

ClawPhone is alive.

I installed OpenClaw on a $25 phone and gave it full access to the hardware.

I haven’t explored everything yet, but it’s a cool formfactor for agents to run on.

[Aditya Agarwal @adityaag]

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.

I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.

Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.

At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.

So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.

I am happy but also sad and confused.

If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

[BrianMcGrath @brianmcgrath]

@deedydas Exactly. Code is just giving instructions to the computer, so as AI gets better and better, it will be able to take normal language and translate it to something the computer cares about better allowing more people to “develop” applications

[al3rez @al3rez]

@deedydas haven't wrote a single line of code since Cursor came out

[sound @soundn]

Well said

[Bitplanet @Bitplanet_AI]

@deedydas When most software becomes solvable by agents, the hard problem shifts to defining intent, verifying outcomes, and deciding who actually owns the value created.

[Deedy @deedydas]

I'm not saying *everything* is solved. But Opus 4.5 seems to be this giant step function from say ~60% to ~80% of tasks where even L5/6 engineers feel like they mostly check code, or reprompt.

Their job is just prompting for 5-10min tasks in 3-4 git worktrees at a time.
