I built an alternative to all the big players that can run fully local, where people own their data. I get hate. I picked OpenAI because they gave me better answers about encryption, responsibility and safety concerns for what I want to build next. I get hate.

Reading some of the takes about Peter here and on X feels less like criticism and more like people shadowboxing their own hatred towards AI. Maybe good to remember that Peter is a real person and one that I know quite well. The criticism thrown his direction from some people is heavily misplaced.

London friends!! 🦞🇬🇧 I’m hosting an AI Agents Hack Night at @nwspk in East London on Feb 17. Bring your laptop, your friends, and your agent swarm ;) 👉 luma.com/46cy08st #AIAgents #AIHackNight #LondonTech #BuildInPublic #OpenClaw

luma.comAI Agent Hack Night 🦞 London 17 Feb 2026 · LumaAttention London agent tinkerers and curious humans 🤖✨ Come join us for a relaxed AI Agent Hack Night - a bring-your-laptop evening for playing with AI…

Gosh this is like a quiet safe haven here. X went completely batshit crazy. Crypto shills attacking me, my account doubling in follower numbers overnight. What a day.

For anyone wondering what AI means for devs: Pre-AI, @steipete.me was one of the single most productive devs solving a very hard problem: PDF rendering Post-AI, he's again one of the single most productive devs solving a very hard problem: building the next-gen Siri (aka Clawdbot)

It certainly helped.

It's not true but it's funny to imagine that mine and @steipete.me's Claude Code Anon meetup on the 19th is what helped Clawd literally turn a corner on popularity.

been playing around with clawdbot these past days to have it integrated into my Slack server as personal AI assistant one channel per topic tbh, especially as a solopreneur, this feels great, as it’s keeping in mind the details and helps you plan + bounce off new ideas

clawdbot has a notion skill for that the cool thing about clawdbot: you just chat with him :D .. „how can I give you access to to Notion?“ .. he responds with a detailed guide with links to the Notion pages where you create an App token and specify which pages / databases he can access its awesome

I added yet another channel for my AI assistant Francis, he’s now helping me to get back in shape 😬 this year seems be the time where I‘m working more with a personal assistant .. and the cool thing about clawdbot is, that I‘m still keeping all the main context of my personal data locally on my PC

High Praise, thanks Federico! It's been years since I had so much fun building something. Defo feels like living in the future.

An open-source AI agent running on my Mac mini is the most fun I've had with AI in a while. Clawdbot by @steipete.me is an AI assistant that you can infinitely tweak. Runs in any messaging app, has access to skills + shell, and it can improve itself. My story: www.macstories.net/stories/claw...

I just bought a ticket for CASE Conf in Berlin. Found out about it in @steipete.me's speaking repo. Now trying to get others to join in January. 😎

Peter Steinberger@steipete.me

Gonna be two intense months! Have to keep myself busy with that Max Sub nerving xD If you're in London and are a builder, DM me to apply for Claude Code Anonymous. 🤖 Vienna folks, come to lu.ma/vienna-tech-... If you're in Berlin, check out CASE Conf: case-conf.com List: github.com/steipete/spe...

If you're around Vienna, come over! I organized one in London and it was so good that we're now doing it in Vienna too!

We're hosting a Vienna Chapter for Claude Code Anonymous together with @steipete.me Can't sleep with this revolution? Join us Sept 11 lu.ma/q50cmcb2

This seems like a good event. I only decided to try AI coding because of @steipete.me‘s posts here. Not ready to give Claude code terminal access and rather contain bots to a browser sandbox, but I know @orta.io‘s former colleagues are using it to eliminate huge amounts of tech debt.

Ended up talking with our event space host for Claude Code Anonymous and I've raised our event space limit, accepted everyone on the guest list, and there's 10 more spaces opened lu.ma/u5rompg9

Folks, @steipete.me and I are going to be running a meetup in London for Claude Code users on Monday 18th. The goal is to do some lightning talks but most of the time is for chatting It's currently private for a few more days, so if you're using CC or interested DM me and I'll put you on the list

I didn't even know I am a startup now, but hey!

Armin Ronacher@mitsuhiko.at

I think @steipete.me's blog is great, but I cannot submit posts to it to lobste.rs because they banned his blog for "startup slop" whatever that means.

In 6 weeks of Claude Code, I got through a year or two of @puzzmo.com tech debt Switched React Native -> React, Redwood -> In-House, Jest -> Vitest, animations to Motion, Design System -> Base UI, Node upgrades, Vite upgrades, made Monorepos All on the side, solo blog.puzzmo.com/posts/2025/0...

I've been putting in a lot of hours into working on and with LLM-based coding assistant tooling, and can say that for me, this has vastly increased my productivity, while code quality and maintainability have at least stayed the same. Sample of one, ymmv. Hence why studies are important.

I was summoned so I shall spam my blog. My general approach and view of LLM-assisted coding is here: mariozechner.at/posts/2025-0... Just telling them "Do my jerb" does definitely not work if you care for functioning, maintainable software. But they sure can help with tedious bits
