I’m happy for the author. I didn’t miss the openclaw fever and I went through a similar experience. I also know other people that experienced this. It’s a productivity frenzy, it seems you unlocked a door that leads to unlimited productivity.

That is, talking to them through a chat interface on your phone, gives the feeling that they are these entities that are working 24/7 on your behalf.

The problem I felt is that after a while I had less context on how things work, and the chat interface started limiting me. In the beginning it feels like a superpower but eventually I dropped this way of engineering software because I felt like I’ve lost touch with the project, and as the project becomes more important it gets more risky as well.
