Evolution of Computer Work: From Code to Specifications to AI Agent Operating Systems

A project is not its code but its spec. Your OS is a folder of markdown files. Why you need to try new AI tools hands-on and not trust AI slop.

Why You Need to Try New Tools

I believe it's essential to dedicate time to exploring new AI tools — not switching to a slightly smarter LLM, but to a fundamentally new experience. For many it happened going from ChatGPT to Claude Code, for others from Claude Code to Openclawd.

Reading about it is pointless — you have to try it yourself.

Skills Matter More Than Tools

The Codex vs. Claude Code vs. Opencode debate is pointless: the latest models are smart enough. What matters now is your skill at generating context and achieving the desired result.

Beware: AI Slop

The internet is already drowning in AI-generated slop. Don't take anything at face value. It's crucial to spend time hands-on experimenting yourself.
