The Day I Fired OpenClaw and Hired Cron Instead

This article documents the decision to dismantle that architecture and replace it with a simpler, deterministic system built around cronjobs, webhooks, and reusable scripts generated with close AI assistance. By isolating intelligence to specific tasks rather than running it continuously, I reduced daily costs to under one dollar while significantly …

Agentic Repos: The new CI/CD is CI/CD + Tasks

CI/CD automated what happens after code is written. Agentic repos automate the work around code: triage, upgrades, tests, and refactors. The key shift is that the output is not chat text; it is a reviewable PR with diffs, commands run, evidence, and rollback notes.

It is a self hosted, autonomous AI assistant designed to actually do things across your system and the tools you already use. From managing messages and automating workflows to running scripts and …

OpenClaw: From Talking Bots to Acting Systems

OpenClaw is not another chatbot. It is an AI driven control layer designed to live inside real systems. Formerly known as ClawdBot, OpenClaw evolved from a conversational experiment into an event driven assistant that reacts to time, signals, and infrastructure. Built on cronjobs, webhooks, and an agent that reasons about intent rather than rules, OpenClaw coordinates workflows, monitors systems, and takes action across tools without constant human input. It is quiet when nothing matters, decisive when something does, and designed for production environments where automation needs judgment, not just scripts.

OpenDev Recap: Everything OpenAI Announced

OpenAI used its OpenDev stage on October 6, 2025 to push ChatGPT from a capable assistant into a platform you can build on. The headliners were apps that run directly inside ChatGPT via a new Apps SDK, AgentKit for building and shipping agentic workflows, general availability of Codex with a fresh SDK and Slack integration, and a strategic AMD partnership aimed at scaling compute to six gigawatts. This post breaks down what shipped, why it matters, and how developers can start building today.
