OpenClaw went from first commit in late November to Super Bowl commercial (it's meant to be the tech behind that AI.com vaporware thing) in February.
(Whether you think OpenClaw is good software is kind of beside the point.)
It’s very much not beside the point. Productivity is measured in how much value you get out from the hours your workers put in.
OpenClaw is not going to be a thing in 6 months. The core idea might exist but that codebase is built on a house of cards and is being replicated in 10% of the code.
I don’t think anyone is arguing against code agents being good at prototypes, which is a great feat, but most SWE work is built on maintaining code over time.
