This would seem to be inline with the development philosophy for clawdbot. I like the concept but I was put off by the lack of concern around security, specifically for something that interfaces with the internet
> These days I don’t read much code anymore. I watch the stream and sometimes look at key parts, but I gotta be honest - most code I don’t read.
I think it's fine for your own side projects not meant for others but Clawdbot is, to some degree, packaged for others to use it seems.
Eric had also once said in a CNBC interview "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
I'm sure I'm missing something but wasn't this already the case where the first time you try to install an APK, you had to go into Settings and mark the relevant application as a trusted source for installing APKs from?
Some friction is probably wise. I remember them introducing the requirement to individually allow each app you're installing things from. The question is, how much more friction will they add? I suspect they will add prompts per install, too.
> it was basically trying to reinvent Istanbul in a bash script because the nyc tool wasn't installed in CI
For the first part of this comment, I thought "trying to reinvent Istanbul in a bash script" was meant to be a funny way to say "It was generating a lot of code" (as in generating a city's worth of code)
To be clear, I don't believe or endorse most of what that issue claims, just that I was reminded of it.
One of my new pastimes has been morbidly browsing Claude Code issues, as a few issues filed there seem to be from users exhibiting signs of AI psychosis.
As someone who was perplexed, I've only heard perplex used in past tense (I was perplexed) so seeing "For the perplex" just made me confused as to what "perplex" meant and I had to do a further search to decipher this tree of comments haha
Philosophically, I like Fly and have been a customer since very early on.
That said, I dread having to do anything CLI related, which for hobby projects is like once every few weeks.
Glancing at the docs for Sprite, I worry that this will be another CLI where a good 95% of the time that I go to invoke a command, my workflow is interrupted by an auto-updater that takes longer than whatever interaction I'm trying to do and derails my train of thought.
