Listening to the latest AppStories podcast. Fun discussion about OpenClaw, but also they make a really good point about the future of software: developers will need to focus even more on polish and making an app feel like a finished product to distinguish from the vibe-coded flood of new apps.

Parking was a problem today OB. Lots of people. Lots of happy beach goers. Lots of people on the streets. I found parking up on the hill to the south of the pier. I’ve never parked here. The views are nice.
The UT tower as we’re heading back from Blade Runner Live. Don’t think I had ever been to a movie or video game in concert before, but always wanted to. Great movie and great music.

I gave in and reinstalled OpenClaw, but this time isolated it on its own server, with no access to anything real except its own email address. Going to experiment very slowly with it.

I boiled it over the course of a quarter-day into a rich, flavorful bone broth. When it was done, I filtered it several times and poured it into...
Great podcast interview with PSPDFKit and OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger:
What blew my mind so much was this realization that I can build everything now. Before you had to really pick which side project you built because software is hard.
