alt Hacker NewsI am excited to see more competitors in this space. Openclaw feels like a hot mess with poor abstractions. I got bit by a race condition for the past 36 hours that skipped all of my cron jobs, as did many others before getting fixed. The CLI is also painfully slow for no reason other than it was vibe coded in typescript. And the errors messages are poor and hidden and the TUIs are broken… and the CLI has bad path conventions. All I really want is a nice way to authenticate between various APIs and then let the agent build and manage the rest of its own infrastructure.

Hate to break it to you but most AI tools are vibe coded hot messes internally. Claude Code famously wears this as a badge of pride (https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-claude-code-i...).
Given the fact that it is only a couple of months old, one can assume things would break over here and there for some time before investing heavily.
