"OpenClaw burns through API credits." "The drift is real when unstructured." "It takes too much time to bug fix." The debate today is OpenClaw vs Claude Code. But everyone is misdiagnosing the problem. The issue isn't that OpenClaw is bad at coding. The issue is that dumping every cron job, skill, and email into a single MEMORY.md creates catastrophic context bloat. Context drift are the final bosses of agentic engineering. OpenClaw's reasoning + structured memory = the actual endgame. Excite

That's what you should be doing. Start from plain Claude, then add on to it for your specific use cases where needed. Skills are fantastic if used this way. The problem is people adding hundreds or thousands of skills that they download and will never use, but just bloat the entire system and drown out a useful system.

Hi zormino, your comment about Claude caught our attention.

We run Swanum — weekly trust scores for AI dev tools pulled from GitHub issues, Reddit, Twitter, and public benchmarks. Claude's current issues are documented in our latest report: https://swanum.com/tool/claude/

We'd also be curious what you end up switching to — we track competitor movement too.

Opinions you didn’t ask for from a software engineer, culture nerd, and wannabe gamer.

I am really frustrated with the @Claude Code experience. Sonnet and Opus are amazing but Claude Code just can’t compare to @perplexity_ai Computer. I can tell Computer to do some research, clone 3 repos, push PRs, respond to review comments and get excellent one-shot output.

For sure - culture is a huge component. Government is unique in that incompetence and laziness and all the shitty behaviors that get people canned in the real world don't have an impact on money coming in. In some places, revenue increases steadily, completely decoupled from any sort of functional attachment to value.<p>So you can be a terrible, worthless, lazy, no-good, do-nothing, awful employee, skating by on the bare minimum level of effort, checking whatever set of boxes you need to av

I'm curious about specific consequences of this. I tend to think the importance of code secrecy has always been exaggerated (there are specific exceptions like hedge fund strategies and malware), even more so now in this post-Claude world. Does anyone have specific things they're trying to avoid by opting out of this?

The emails go through quickbooks/accounting software, Clawbolt doesn't have any direct email client. Use of tools is on a gradual permission basis like Claude code, and Clawbolt doesn't have any general code access or web access. I think you highlight an important point though that prompt injection continues to be a hazard of AI agent use, though tools continue to be developed to fight against it. The goal is to lock Clawbolt down as much as possible to help users avoid the securi

Troubleshooting an Anthropic subscription or API issue? The fastest way to isolate the bug is to temporarily swap your model provider or test a different auth method to see if the problem is on their end. But this highlights a bigger lesson for dev teams: if a billing glitch or API outage from one AI vendor breaks your entire app, your architecture is too fragile. Relying on a single point of failure is a huge risk in production workflows. You should always have fallback models or use an API
