Writing blog posts and HN comments about how awesome OpenClaw is its #1 utility.

For me, personal home IT “chores” that I’ve put off for years. I can do them, but god what a pain in the ass to spin up a VM, configure Prometheus, configure grafana, configure a bunch of collectors for my WiFi and network infrastructure, and then spend a night or three tweaking dashboards and re-learning promql or whatever.

I just end up never doing it. Got it done in a couple hours with openclaw.

I’m sure there are much better ways to do that, which I will now learn in time due to the initial activation energy being broken on the topic. But for now, it’s fun running down my half decade old todo list.

I haven’t found ANY uses for it where it actually did what it was supposed to do.

I wonder about this as well. I see people breathlessly talking about how it manages their inbox or checks flight statuses, but how often should you need a bot for these things?
