something feels off to me about the clawdbot hype

About the maintainer's github:

688 commits on Nov 25, 2025... out of which 296 commits were in clawdbot, IN ONE DAY, he prolly let lose an agent on the project for a few hours...

he has more than 200 commits on an average per day, but mostly 400-500 commits per day, and people are still using this project without thinking of the repercussions)

Now, something else i researched:

Someone launched some crypto on this, has $6M mktcap

https://www.coincarp.com/currencies/clawdbot/

Crypto people hyping clawed: https://x.com/0xifreqs/status/2015524871137120459

And this article telling you how to use clawed and how "revolutionary" it is (which has author name "Solana Levelup"): https://medium.com/@gemQueenx/clawdbot-ai-the-revolutionary-...

Make of that what you will

Peter Steinberger is a well respected developer that started out in the mobile dev community. He founded a company, then made an exit and is set for money, so he just does things for fun.

Yes, he AI generated all of it, go through his articles at https://steipete.me/ to see how he does it, it’s definitely not “vibe coding”, he does make sure that what’s being output is solid.

He was one of the people in the top charts of using Claude Code a year back, which brought around the limits we know today.

He also hosts Claude Code anonymous meetups all over the world.

He’s overall a passionate developer that cares about the thing he’s building.

How is he "well respected", based on what metric? Amount of vibe coded slop put out into the ecosystem?

He sounds like someone who has just vibe coded shit until something stuck to the wall. I also find it hard to respect people who create things which are 99-100% coded by an LLM, with zero technical merit or skill. Again, just creating slop until something goes viral.

As far as I can see Clawdbot is just more AI-slop. Anyone can create the same thing (and many have created similar) over a weekend. It's riddled with bugs, security holes, and it's a disaster waiting to happen basically.

Just the opposite, he has over 15 years of experience of providing third party frameworks for the iOS community, used in thousands of apps. He founded PSPDFKit, a library for working with PDFs and managed to make an exit of the company worth $100 million

He's written up hundreds of articles on different topics in the community and is very much a skilled developer, with tons of technical merit.

Now you come along with your small mind and a hard on for AI-hate and all you can comprehend is that nothing can challenge your world view so you reach out and attack what you don't understand. That just defines you as ignorant.

That's a great reason to shout yourself hoarse stanning his insecure half baked experiments.
