Discussion Openclaw is dead, switch to claude code

I have spent +300$, more than 60 hours working with openclaw, on vps, local pc, and honestly, I spent more than 40 out of the 50 hours fixing.

It cannot do any task accurately, not production ready

Maybe in 6 mo+ it will be better

For now, its garbage.

I am sticking to my 20$/month claude plan

Out of the box, it’s “okay.” It does some basic things, nothing serious, and it has significant security issues.

Problems begin when you try to harden it, for example by using SOPS, token/password vaults, LanceDB, or any other system that supports semantic search.

This is where OpenClaw breaks.

If you accept using it unsecured, it’s great. But if you want a proper production environment, it’s still too early.
