@teslasi @aelluswamy @TeslaAUNZ Loving FSD v14.3.9 on my Model Y L in Sydney. One thing to tune for left-hand traffic: it tracks well right of lane centre and gets uncomfortably close to large oncoming vehicles. Centring or a slight left bias would feel much safer.

I shared a prompt called the Principal Architect Review for vibe-coded apps.
Since then I found two follow-up prompts that take the results even further.
Here's the full workflow 👇
🧵 THREAD 🧵
I use AI to build dashboards, write code, draft strategies.
But AI ships its first draft. And first drafts have blind spots.
So I built a prompt that forces AI to tear apart its own work before I review it.
Here's the exact prompt (copy it):

1/ After the PA review, bring in The Mentor:
"I'm not so sure this is a thorough review, especially for customers and the business side.
Now consider that a colleague who is a mentor of yours and a world-renowned UX expert came in and reviewed the application, its UI, how it works, its code quality.
What would they say? Turn this into a sprint and execute on all the improvements."

My @openclaw agents frequently lost context and had no way to search across everything. Emails, Slack, Drive, other agents' conversations. All siloed.
So I built Claw Recall, and just released v2.0.0. One searchable brain, updates in seconds, under $1/mo.
Inspired by @natebjones's Open Brain.

This is exactly the kind of practical automation OpenClaw enables — no dashboards, just natural language control 🦞
Just ditched my smart home dashboard. Set up a local AI agent (OpenClaw) that connects to Home Assistant via the MCP protocol. Now I just text my house on Signal or Telegram to trigger physical devices. The "mcporter" skill handles the translation instantly. #HomeAssistant #AI

This is pretty wild 🤖
OpenClaw can now navigate phone trees, get through them, and get to a human.
I'm not responsible for your shenanigans

🧵 Built a monitoring dashboard for my @openclaw AI agent running on a VPS.
Tracks gateway status, active sessions + token usage, CPU/RAM/disk, Docker, Tailscale, fail2ban, SSL certs, cron health, and alerts.
Python stdlib + vanilla HTML/JS. 1/

🧵 Built a fix for the @OpenClaw session corruption bug that was bricking all three model fallbacks simultaneously.
Root cause: transcript repair inserts synthetic tool_result entries, but after compaction the matching tool_use_id no longer exists. Anthropic rejects the request → cooldown → infinite retry loop on ALL models. 1/

2/ Wrote a repair script that surgically removes the invalid entries instead of nuking the entire session — preserving your full conversation history.
Script + root cause analysis on the GitHub issue:

Facebook video Ads tip: Focus on improving Outbound CTR, 3s video plays, Video video average play time and % 3s VV/Impressions. ROAS will then take care of itself.
Ok Facebook, what's up with YouTube video links not showing the thumbnails in Facebook organic posts? Conversely though, reach is 20x greater than usual?

Learning how to advertise successfully on Facebook is an acquired skill, like any other. It doesn't have to be complicated though. Here's a guide that keeps it simple: youtu.be/HxxeY0SLstg
