Peter Steinberger is a well respected developer that started out in the mobile dev community. He founded a company, then made an exit and is set for money, so he just does things for fun. Yes, he AI generated all of it, go through his articles at https://steipete.me/ to see how he does it, it’s definitely not “vibe coding”, he does make sure that what’s being output is solid. He was one of the people in the top chart…

Being a well respected dev and being active on Twitter are contradictory

Like it or not, it's where most people are

how do you have Clawdbot WhatsApp you? i set mine up with my own WhatsApp account, and the responses come back as myself so i haven't been able to get notifications

Telegram setup is really nice

Telegram exists for these kinds of integrations.

When someone is pushing 500 commits a day, i don't think they have time to review any code, and it was likely written in full YOLO mode. So it's not just batteries-included, it's probably 100-vulnerabilities-included as well

this is the whole message of this hype that you can churn out 500 commits a day relatively confidently the way you have clang churn out 500 assemblies without reading them. We might not be 100% there but the hype is looking slightly into the future and even though I don't see the difference to Claude code, I tend to agree that this is the new way to do things even if something breaks on average it's safe enough

Your username says a lot about your whole message

This is a thing you can enable on GitHub for any project. You just described a GitHub feature

For every Dropbox, there are a thousand failed products. Survivorship bias is not a good argument.

Most whom? If we're talking about any kind of people, then no, there are far bigger Social networks than eX-Twitter. And if we are just talking about tech-people, it's disputable, but at least we could talk about the quality discussions there.

Clawdbot finally clicked for me this week. I was renting out an apartment and I had it connect to FB messenger, do the initial screening messages and then schedule times for viewings in my calendar. I was approving it's draft messages but starting giving it some automatic responses as well. Overall it did 9/10 on this task with a couple cases where it got confused. This is just scratching the surface but this was som…

Waitaminute, clawdbot has access to facebook? how since there is no API? it puppeteers the browser and somehow facebook antibot algorithms do not instaban it?

This is really cool, nicely done. Q: How did you get the WhatsApp integration working? I thought that was completely closed off unless you are in Europe.

Because it's using an actual Mac as a gateway to run this on: https://docs.clawd.bot/help/faq#do-i-have-to-buy-a-mac-mini-...
