"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao"

Filippo Brunelleschi said he could build the large dome for the church that had stood unfinished for a century. Skeptical, other's demanded he'd explain how. He refused. Instead he challenged everyone to balance an egg on its tip. Nobody could do it. He then demonstrated by lightly tapping the egg on the table, flattening the tip, making it stand. "Anyone could've done that! You never said we could break the egg!". And that's the point. Anyone could've done it. But nobody did. Nobody thought 'outside the box'. And likewise, his solution to building the dome is as simple, and as ingenious.
It's called Egg of Columbus. (there's a similar story about Columbus that's more famous, but apparently fictitious). It teaches us that hindsight is 20/20.
The whole thing is incredibly buggy. The dashboard is horrible, with page after page with similar-looking settings and what feels like hundreds of things I will never use. The categories in the dashbaord are also unintuitive. It's the kind of thing an AI would put together if it got very vague instructions. It doesn't scream quality and thoughtfullness. Not a bit.
IronClaw is much more promising imo. Trying it out right now. Much less issues so far.
