SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background in software engineering.
Topic 2 - You recently jumped into the deep end of the pool with OpenClaw. Tell us about the week of immersion with this new technology.
- What did you go into it thinking about?
- What did you learn, what did you create?
- What new sorts of things did you have to try?
Topic 2a - For anyone that’s new to OpenClaw, can you give us the basics of what OpenClaw does?
Topic 3 - You mentioned that this is a very different (or completely different) paradigm of how software is created. Can you walk us through the differences, your observations, how you had to really rethink things that you did before and after?
Topic 4 - In your day job, you’re focused on software that’s used by large enterprises that have to be concerned with security and stability, as much as they do innovation. How do you see the existing OpenClaw fitting into that world?
- How do you expect that OpenClaw might need to change?
- How do you expect that enterprises might need to change to adapt to this new capability that might be unleashed with their employees?
Topic 5 - You (very) recently were accepted as a committer to the OpenClaw project. I know it’s only been a few days, but what is opening your eyes about how this community operates, especially in comparison to other open projects you’ve worked on?
- We could probably have an entire podcast on AI development in open communities.
