Claude Code just deleted a feature unrelated to my prompt and replaced it with a log message "Skipping, not implemeted yet"

WTF Claude?

Claude admitted his mistake, but won't give tokens back ๐Ÿ˜… It was worth trying though...

Many people thing @openclaw is expensive and insecure - both easy to fix

Security - VPS, Tailscale private net, don't expose gateway, only whitelisted accounts can message (pairing)

Costs - use ChatGPT subscription and free Kimi K2.5 endpoint from Nvidia or Ollama

Simple ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

When working on a new feature, I usually spend a lot of time creating a detailed prompt for the coding agent to give it proper context and describe the changes it needs to do.

Now, I started putting the prompt in the ticket and it can become great documentation.

Vibe-coded a better way to browse X with @openclaw

I follow people via chronological lists, but X keeps snapping me back to the top and I miss posts.

So I built a tool that pulls posts via the API, saves them in SQLite, remembers my place, and lets me swipe through the new ones

Codex just kicked Opus' ass in a way I haven't seen before

I gave a fairly complex feature to both GPT-5.3-Codex (extra high effort) and Claude Opus 4.6 (high effort) in a complex monorepo.

Codex one-shotted it, Opus needed several iteration to fix a lot of stupid shit

Already shipped a small tool that makes my life easier. Took 2 walks with the stroller while the baby naps.

"But why not just use Claude Code on the VPS?"

I do. But communicating with it sucks.

I've got Terminus and VNC setup. It works. But Telegram is just SO much better for this.

I'm already on my phone. Just open the app and start coding.

23.02.2026 19:00 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The workflow is stupid simple:

1. I describe what I want on Telegram
2. It writes the code and runs it on a local port
3. Port is exposed, so I test the app directly from my phone
4. If I like it, it creates a PR or pushes to a branch
5. Deploy on another VPS with Coolify for auto-deploy

23.02.2026 19:00 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The setup:

๐Ÿฆž @openclaw running on a VPS (Tailscale private net)
๐Ÿค– Connected to GPT-5.3-Codex
๐Ÿ’ฌ Talking to it via Telegram
๐Ÿ”‘ It has its own SSH key and Github account

That's it. Now I can build stuff from anywhere.

Yeah, the @openclaw hype is too big

But here's a legit use-case that's already providing real value for me:

Vibe coding apps from my phone ๐Ÿ“ฑ

This is what AI agents were supposed to be all along. Not a fancy chatbot that writes you poems, but something that actually gets work done autonomously. Finally feels like we're getting there ๐Ÿš€

12.02.2026 19:00 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And here's where it gets really powerful: It plugs into YOUR stuff. Your email. Your files. Your browser with your logins. Your smart home devices. It's not just another chat interface - it's an agent that lives in your actual workflow.

12.02.2026 19:00 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It creates subagents when needed. Schedules when they wake up. Uses memory across conversations. Writes and runs scripts to complete tasks. Browses the web like a human would. These aren't new capabilities - but finally there's a model that actually USES them.

The magic isn't in the parts - it's how they work together. Other AI tools COULD do all this stuff. But they HAVEN'T done it. @openclaw is tuned to be autonomous in a way other models refuse to be.

Everyone's trying to explain what makes @openclaw special and missing the point

Yeah, it's just MD files with system prompts, LLM connections, messaging gateways, and a cron scheduler. Nothing revolutionary, right?

But that's like saying Dropbox is just FTP with curlftpfs and SVN.

For the day we travel to Spain, it is programmed to check for traffic jams and construction work on the way to the airport and any airport and flight delays.

@openclaw is now my travel agent

I'm going for a short vacation in Spain with my family. I created a ๐Ÿฆž agent called Calwveler to be my travel agent on Telegram.

For now I gave it a ton of context:

โœˆ๏ธ Detailed travel plans
๐Ÿ—ฝ What we like to see and visit
๐Ÿฅ˜ What food we like

Today I caught myself referring to Opus 4.6 as HE not as IT. Is this AGI?

The comments about @openclaw having no value because it just combines existing technologies are like the infamous comment that Dropbox is just FTP + curlftpfs + SVN.

09.02.2026 19:00 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I did update it before posting and now again. Still not available. Maybe because Iโ€™m in Germany.

For comparison, Opus 4.6 was instantly available everywhere even without update

OpenAI rushed GPT-5.3 Codex as a response to Opus 4.6

- Opus 4.6 already available in Claude Code and Cursor
- GPT-5.3 Codex not available yet, not even in the Codex app
- @ArtificialAnlys has an eval of Opus 4.6, but not of GPT-5.3 Codex

Our free plan was too good

We offered simple.photo users the ability to use the product for free, but it seems our free tier is too good and people have no incentive to subscribe.

We are changing from a free plan to a 7 day free trial, while we keep adding features.
