Hey my dear, I just got feedback from the customers. So, it seems to be working well with the booking. It would just be cool if we could have an extra interstitial that explains the application process. So first comes the Loom, that we get to know them a bit, then they are forwarded to Stripe and please make sure that we receive emails, both the admin and the guests. Thanks, my dear. Sorry, that was my project manager. He is currently working with a programmer on our new workation platform. The only problem is, these two employees don't exist. They are AI. My dears, I have developed a complete app, just via voice message. And by that, I don't mean a prototype, a demo, or anything like that, but a real app on which real sales are made. I have made money with it without writing or reading a single line of code. And honestly, I don't know if I should be proud of it or if it's somehow creepy to me. I just didn't think it would come so quickly. When AI emerged, I was also just very impressed and enthusiastic and euphoric at first. What a relief for work. But somehow, I also always saw it in my role as a computer scientist, as a former software developer, to dampen it a bit, with the motto, let's keep our feet on the ground, people. Yes, AI is totally impressive, but for more than an auto-complete, for simple functions, it's not enough. That was at the beginning. Then AI improved and I thought to myself, yes, it works great, but sometimes it hallucinates. Another year later, it's really great how you can prototype with it, but the code quality is no comparison to a capable developer. And above all, I always told myself, AI is only strong in the right hands. You have to know what you're doing to use it effectively, right? Open Open Claw. Open Claw is the most powerful software ever. Did you just lay off the entire engineering team? Earth was an existence. It's not OpenClaw itself and what you can do with it, that shocked me so much, but how OpenClaw came into being. Peter Steinberger didn't program OpenClaw. He had it programmed. His famous article, Shipping at inference speed, it just went against all my beliefs. He postulated all of a sudden, that Vibe Coding had progressed to the point where he no longer had to read the code. He writes prompts, and not detailed prompts, but quite short ones, and then just lets the AI do its thing. If something doesn't work, it's not debugged, not checkpointed, not reverted, but the AI is simply restarted. The code that the AI spits out is committed directly to the main branch. What the hell? That just didn't feel right. But OpenClaw is OpenClaw. It works, it can no longer be denied. What are my skepticism? What are my beliefs against the most successful open-source project of all time? The bitter pill. It seems the times have changed. It seems I have suddenly gotten old. You know what, people? I don't accept it. I'm young, I'm dynamic, I'm coming out of programmer retirement and I'm going to try it myself now. I'm going to develop an app. Steinberger style. I won't look at the code. Publish and pray. And you know what? I'll even go one step further. Steinberger, he sits at the computer all day and prompts. I won't even write the prompts myself. I'll let an AI do that too. So people, like every good Teag experiment, my project starts with a Hostinger server. Best provider, sponsor of my AI videos. Kisses go out. We'll get a virtual server. We'll dive right in. Code Niklas of course for 10% discount and then OpenClaw will be installed. Very easy with one click. And people, OpenClaw is not the Vibe Coding Tool. OpenClaw is the Vibecoder. Why should I sit there and keep telling Codex or Cloud Code or whatever they're called, "Yes, go ahead, please build the next feature." No, if we're going to go completely hands-off, then let's do it properly. OpenClaw does what a human actually does. It's the project manager, it makes the high-level design decisions, it writes the prompts, and I go for coffee. I'm not needed anymore anyway. Okay, but actually I still have to install Codex, right? Yes, as it looks, we humans will probably still be needed for the menial tasks. Probably. We'll install Codex locally on the computer here, log in with my ChatGPT subscription. Now we'll just brazenly copy the credentials to the Hostinger server. Here's the IP address SCP. So, now we're going for coffee. The project is the following, people. Every year I organize so-called workations. That means I rent larger villas and rent out the rooms weekly to friends, acquaintances, people from my wider network. Until now, I've used a standard booking system for that. But why pay €15 a month for software these days when Codex Pro can program it for me for €200 a month? Exactly. And I'll tell you what, we're not just building a booking system, we're building the Airbnb for workations. Did you hear? The Airbnb for workations? Yes, we're going to be rich, Amadeus. We're going to be rich. Amadeus is my OpenClaw again. And once again, for the record, he has the project vision. He has a document where it's explained in detail where we want to go in the long term. He also had the management token for my Superbase. Full access rights, in the spirit of the times. And that means when Codex comes and says, "I've finished programming it, but now you have to create a project in Superbase and configure this and that," I have nothing more to do with it. Amadeus handles that too. He manages the API and whatever else the project needs peripherally. And the good thing is, Amadeus has this heartbeat. That means he reactivates again and again, he can restart Codex again and again. I myself will only be activated when I really need to give feedback. Wow, speak of the devil, Amadeus is just sending me the first draft. Look, people, joinwcations.com already looks really good. I'll try it out now and then I'll give feedback via voice message. My dears, I've been iterating on my Vibe Coding project on and off for the past few weeks. I've been sending my voice messages on the side in between, otherwise it probably would have gone a bit faster. But now we're ready. join joinvocations.com is not only finished, it's live and we already have the first customers. Take a look here. Good old Tomy is coming to Pangaren and here good old Open Mind is coming to Bali. And watch this, we see in the admin interface, yes, a total of €6400 has already flowed through the site. Okay, it's not the world, but it's real revenue. The site is working, people have booked, credit cards have been charged, confirmation emails have been sent. We have built a new platform and I have kept my promise. I haven't read a single line of code and I'll be honest, it goes against my grain. I still find it super weird. Maybe it's a professional habit. I was a professional software developer for years. I used to do the manual work back then and a part of me finds it hard to let go. But what can I do? We developers can stand on our heads, express our concerns about code quality, security, keep emphasizing, keep insisting that we humans would do it much better. But how long will this position be tenable? People, a year ago Cloud Code didn't exist. It's moving so fast. What will it look like in 3 years? Can Amadeus replace a senior software developer? No, not yet. A junior software developer? Honestly, yes. Take a look here. I wanted to integrate my old workations. This is not purely a programming task. There was a bit of a question of whether I might have to do it myself again. But this OpenClaw agent, it pulled the old bookings from the CS, it pulled the descriptions of the workations and even the photos from my Notion or partly from the Airbnb listings, brought everything into a uniform format and entered it into Superbase. It just feels like working with an employee, I can't say otherwise. The success concept, so OpenClaw Manager with access to Superbase, to Notion, the old booking system and so on, with Telegram connection to me and CLI connection to Codex. Codex programs, OpenClaw reviews and pushes the commits to Git. The Git repository is connected to Hostinger's No Deployment. So this is not the VPS that I always advertise and on which OpenClaw runs, but it is another Hostinger product and OpenClaw also has access to it. In the advanced settings, I activated SSH and stored Amadeus's key. And with that, he can really do anything. He can even check himself if the site has already been successfully deployed. And yes, at the beginning I had to set all this up once and yes, for some features I gave feedback five times. The hardest part, I think, was the sign-in with Google, but the gap is closing, my dear friends. And it's closing at a pace. Yes, the world is changing at such a pace that I can only recommend finding a good therapist and securing your Hostinger server before AI drives up the prices. Code Niklas for 10% discount, thanks for the support. Implement your ideas before someone else does. I, for one, already know what Amadeus will do next.
