For me the prerequisite for leveraging openclaw was developing function oriented repositories of markdown files tied to my roles that capture pretty much everything I know about the subject and ongoing work, and working with agents as assistants off of those as context. As a founder, product manager, for growth etc.

From there it’s pretty natural that I wanted to talk to an always on agent not tied to any particular machine which has the same context plus access to google drive etc.

1/ Use a standard CSS library - Tailwind

2/ Use a common React component library such as Radix UI (don't reinvent the wheel)

3/ Avoid inventing new UI patterns.

4/ Use Storybook so you can isolate all custom UI elements and test/polish them in all states

5/ Develop enough taste over the years of what is good UI to ask CC/Codex to iterate on details that you don't like.

One thing that I'm sure of is that the agentic future is test-driven. Tests are basically executable specs the agent can follow and verify against.

When we have solid tests, the agent output is useful and we can trust it. When tests are thin or missing, the agents still ship a lot of code, but we spend way more time debugging and fixing subtle bugs.

Like any CLI Claude Code should follow decades old tradition of providing configurable verbosity levels, like tcpdump's -v to -vvvvv to accommodate varying usage contexts.

Yes, managers should make an effort to explain the optimal way and steer the conversation. But also people who are in an individual contributor role can simply get ahead of the game by learning the difference.

SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE

Semaphore (CI/CD service) is looking for developers who blog to join its new community authorship program. Topics are all about building, testing, and deploying code. Your articles will appear on https://semaphoreci.com/blog and reach an audience of at least 30k developers. We pay per article.

If you're interested, reach me directly at marko // renderedtext.com. Include links to your best writing.

Co-author here. Working on a CI/CD platform and seeing how real teams actually build their apps, I can tell you that the majority are still not using containers.

It ain't easy. It changes the entire build/test/deploy process. But it is the best way to build for the cloud.

So we wrote this book for developers who need to get things done. Hopefully it's a good mix of required fundamentals for a practical reader, and realistic examples.

I'd love to hear your feedback, and any particular questions or struggles you've had while transitioning to containers.

Semaphore 2.0 offers 1,300 minutes (disclaimer: I'm a cofounder, so you can also AMA).

If you don't mind logs and project pages not being publicly visible, you can start using the Semaphore 2.0 free tier with your open source project. If you run out of credits send a support request and we'll increase.

That community page is outdated and referring to Semaphore Classic (1.0) and 2.0 will be getting proper open source support soon.

Thanks for mentioning Semaphore, cofounder here. Yes, we’re 100% bootstrapped and in this for the long haul. It’s really all about execution. We built 2.0 in a timeframe in which we’d previously ship one or two features. Of course years of domain experience help, but everyone from Fred Brooks to DHH is right — adding more people won’t help build a better product faster.

It sounds like you don’t have a total budget for your startup, broken down into target spending per month and a deadline when you expect to either get even, raise an investment or quit. Maybe start with that? By having a plan you prevent constantly questioning what to do and leave more energy for creative work.
