There was a moment a few weeks ago when I was reading about OpenClaw and wondered if this was a moment like when I first learned about Claude Code. It wasn’t. I kept watching to see what I was missing. Here was this open source project with a hundred thousand GitHub stars, people saying it cleared their inbox, booked their flights, fought their insurance company. Yet, all sorts of people were blogging, LinkedIn-ing (is that a thing?), and generally talking about it. I heard it mentioned in NY Times and Verge podcasts.
There was a time in my life when I went to a lot of shows. Not just to see the headliner, the whole night. I would show up early enough to catch whoever was opening, because that was how you found new music. You liked a band, you went to see them, and you walked out having discovered two more. Sometimes I wouldn’t make it to see the headliner because I was satisfied with the show. I remember that happening when I discovered the band Minus the Bear. I was so happy with their performance opening that I just went home afterwords.
I’ve automated my dev workflow with a zsh function that ties together git worktrees + Linear + Claude Code. One command now: parses Linear ticket from branch name → creates worktree → auto-claims ticket via GraphQL → copies dev assets (node_modules, .env, etc) → opens Claude Code and Zed.
