What I found interesting is nanoclaw isn’t a working product out of the box. You must use a coding agent to complete it with features you want. For example add iMessage support, etc.

In other words, Claude is the compiler.

I’m old enough to remember when one checked the assembly a compiler generated because early on they produced terrible assembly. Eventually they got good enough to not needing to check.

Coding agents are not close to that yet, but it’s interesting watching history repeat itself.

This narrative of the coding agents being so much better now over the last few months seems VERY exaggerated. I’m still spending a lot of time telling Claude: No, that didn’t fix the problem. Again. Can you handle this task or do I have to give it to codex?
