> This looks bad for Microsoft.

Maybe(?) from a product catalogue perspective... But from a strategic perspective less so because they own ~27% of OpenAI.[0]

The irony.

I am fed up of getting gaslit by coding assistants. "Your AI agent says it's done." really is a problem! Nice packaging here.

I built something similar[0] a few months ago but haven't maintained it because Codex UI and Cursor have _reasonable_ tooling for this themselves now IMO.

That said there is still a way to go, and space for something with more comprehensive interactivity + comparison.

You did such a good job of listing out reasons why niche demographics would skip a meat-free burger, without listing the actual core demographic who consumes them: Vegans and vegetarians, i.e. people who enjoy eating burgers but don’t eat meat.


Their second paragraph addresses this.


“Health conscious” !== vegan, vegetarian


That's the third paragraph.


When I saw this comment before loading the article, I thought “this is probably the New Yorker”. I think they produce the best visuals across all the online publications.



Well flabber my gasts. I’ve never seen a video that sharp and well optimised on a mobile page…

Goes to show how good things can look when done right!


> They were rare, and special, and you'd have a few photos per YEAR to look back on.

Um yeah I don't know. I fully resonate with the _emotional_ appeal here, but realistically I remember going round to people's houses to be shown analog photo albums that nobody was that bothered about seeing, because they didn't really care -- they weren't their photos.

The special photos (a few a year) still exists in digital form.


It's reasonably clear from the second sentence in the post that the uptick in submissions can be largely attributed to AI-assisted projects.

> The post quickly disappeared from Show HN's first page, amongst the rest of the vibecoded pulp.

The linked article[0] also talks at length about the impact of AI and vibe-coding on indie craftsmanship's longevity.

Those attempting to discredit the value of OpenClaw by virtue of it being easily replicable or simple are missing the point. This was, like most successful entrepreneurial endeavours, a distribution play.

The creator built a powerful social media following and capitalized on that. Fair play.


We are slowly (re-)discovering the various bits and pieces that make up our system prompt.


Surely it's a typo and they meant "sustainable"?

Otherwise IMO such an odd word choice. Definition:

>> providing physical or mental strength or support


Sustaining is used in Engineering to mean that it's now post-GA and there is no further development. The platform is not End of Life but there are no more features planned.


They meant what they wrote. Merriam-Webster's definition: "to support the weight of"

It means they're transitioning to the absolute minimum to keep it alive and nothing more. That could, in worst cases, mean firing everyone except one guy, or using AI to keep it alive.


Sustaining as in sustaining their shareholders.
