TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Welcome to changelog and friends! A weekly talk show about thinking outside the Dropbox. Thanks as always to our partners at Fly.io, the platform for devs who just want to ship, build fast, run any code fearlessly at Fly.io. Okay, let's talk.

This is the year we almost break the database. Let me explain. Where do agents actually store their stuff? They've got vectors, relational data, conversational history, embeddings, and they're hammering the database at speeds that humans just never have done before.

And most teams are duct-taping together a Postgres instance, a vector database, maybe Elasticsearch for Search. It's a mess! While friends at Tagger Data look at this and said, what if the database just understood agents? That's agent at Postgres.

It's Postgres built specifically for AI agents, and it combines three things that usually require three separate systems, native model context protocol servers, MCP, hybrid search, and zero-copy forks. The MCP integration is the clever bit your agents can actually talk directly to the database. They can create data, introspect schemas, execute SQL without you writing fragile blue code. The database essentially becomes a tool your agent can wield safely.

Then there's hybrid search. Tagger Data emerged as a vector similarity search with good old keyword search into a SQL query. No separate vector database, no Elasticsearch cluster, semantic and keyword search in one transaction. One engine.

Okay, my favorite feature, the forks. Agents can spawn sub-second zero-copy database clones for isolated testing. This is not a database they can destroy. It's a fork.

It's a copy off of your main production database if you so choose. We're talking a one terabyte database, fort, and under one second. Your agent can run destructive experiments in a sandbox without touching production, and you only pay for the data that actually changes. That's how copyright works.

All your agent data, vectors, relational tables, time series metrics, conversational history, lives in one queryable engine. It's the elegant simplification that makes you wonder why we've been doing it the hard way for so long. So if you're building with AI agents and you're tired of managing a zoo of data systems, check out our friends at TigerData at TigerData.com. They've got a free trial and a CLI with an MCP server.

You can download the story experimenting right now. Again, TigerData.com. What up nerds? So one of the things that we say often around these parts is the software world moves fast.

And this week has been a great example of that. On Monday, when I shipped changelog news, I covered a tool called clogbot at C-L-A-W-D bot. On Tuesday, when we recorded the conversation you're about to hear, they had been renamed to Moltbot. Today, as I master and ship this episode to the world, it's been renamed again to Open Claw.

Turns out Moltbot just didn't roll off the tongue. So you'll hear us struggle to say Moltbot, a whole bunch in this episode, just run your brains global, find, and replace subroutine, and hopefully, it'll still all make sense. Where should we begin? Let's start the start and take it away.

Okay. My name is Simpson Bartholomew J. Okay. That's just the start of an old Simpson throughout.

Oh, I love that. Oh, yeah. I need a second mind. Can you do it going better than that?

Give me the real thing. Is that your version? I'll start from the start and take it away. My name is Simpson Bartholomew J.

Okay. I don't remember any of the rest. Do you have a bar imitation voice? Are you like, are you on a ground where you can imitate anybody?

Basically, I'm a talentless hack. Oh, man. I got nothing. Can you?

You know what? I don't even attempt, man. I mean, either. That's why I just call myself a hack.

I can impress some things, but you're very impressive in general. Yeah. I mean, when you're impressive, you have to be an impersonator, to be yourself. That's right.

And you impress. Well, thank you. Well, thank you. Well, I was impressed by all that's been going on lately.

Have you been impressed? You know what? Goodness gracious. It really is an interesting time to be a software developer.

I do have to say it is uniquely interesting in so many ways. You know, just such a wild world we find ourselves in. One of the things that's been going on is this Mac mini sale. Oh, dang.

We've been selling Mac minis for Apple. It's not us. It's just developers and buying them because of Cloudbot not to be confused with Claude Code, which I guess was confusing enough that Cloudbot was renamed. For posterity, Claudebot was spelled C-L-A-W-D.

And I think it had to do with him having claws. It was like a whole lobster theme behind this thing. And I think it was like he had to claws. So he's a Claudebot.

And then he got very popular. At which point, Peter Steinberger, who might become on the pod at some point, trying to make it happen. The creator of Claudebot decided to rename everything, trademark stuff. I can only assume anthropics said, hey, please rename this.

This point, Claude is pretty well established verbally, audibly, with anthropic, right? Right. Different spelling doesn't really matter when you just say the word Claude, everything's about anthropic. So now it's Moltbot.

So Claudebot, Moltid. And why do we care? Well, because it seems like a pretty cool project. And one that has gotten a lot of people excited, I covered it on news this week, because it'll do a bunch of stuff for you now, full confession.

I have not set this up. I'm not set this up, gosh darn it. It's, you know, the list is long, Jared. You got a list of stuff you want to try.

AI things to play with, man. I know. I just can't keep up with the things that play with. I want to though.

I do want to. So that's my excuse, at least. The AI that actually does things, that's right. It emails for you at calendars and home automates, all from your favorite chat app.

So cool, lobster theme. And people are doing all kinds of crazy stuff at this point anymore. No more lobster thing. It's gone.

It says here, clears your inbox, sends emails, manages your calendar, checks in for flights. Now, this is something you've been, you know, upset a little bit about, and you can only do it a little too further. Don't check in my flights, man. All from WhatsApp, Telegram, or any chat I've used.

Now, what a good, first of all, amazing copy. Okay. Like when you make something describing it, because in your brain, you've got it, right? You've got all the details, you've got all the things that you're dreaming about for this thing, but then getting it out into a concise word, phrase, sentence, whatever you want to call this, right?

Yes. That's the hard part. That's a beautiful two sentence. This is what it does scenario.

So good job, Peter on this. In terms of Claude, it's over with, man. Claude. C-L-A-W-D.

That's Molt. Well, now I'm Molt. Call it Molti. Well, you know, we have to, we have to go to the past to go to the future, right?

You got to be like, where'd you come from? I just called a Claude bot in news, and the next day, literally the next day, they got renamed Molt, Molt. Because a lobster's Molt, I think, is that when they lose their outer shell? Yeah, I think so.

I only know this because of the Futurama and Zwingberg. Zwingberg's always Molti. Yes. That's the only reason I have any idea about lobster anatomy, otherwise I'd be clueless.

And I would imagine, like any crustacean, when you don't have your crustacean, you are vulnerable to the elements. Right. You're not crusty. Yeah.

You need that protective shell from the anthropics of the world. Exactly. And now he's protected. Now he's protected.

Well, make it leap protected. He's molted. Right. For what it's worth.

I mean, it's just an open source project. So I mean, how protected can you possibly be? Is it though? It is.

Will it be? What do you mean? Protected or open source? Well, it's open source, but will it only be open source?

It's just an open source project for now, for now. I mean, when things get this popular, so we should probably say like, the reason we're talking about it, even though we haven't played with it, is because everyone's talking about it because other people are playing with it. Here's a few choice quotes from developers whom you may respect. This is from the Keatsay.

I can't remember what his name is, but you know, he's on the Internet as the Keatsay. And he's an opinioner. He says, create your own mold pot and go and debt. And if you have to, I love the idea of this nerdy crab chilling in my attic and my Mac on my Mac studio.

Just giving me just giving me I didn't really read that. I don't understand that means at the end, but he's excited. Hey, give me something and it just gives you stuff, you know, just giving you the stuff, you know, whatever I want. Just give it to me.

Here's LLM junkie. So, you know, he's showed his cards, but he says, this is the legit the only agent slash model slash whatever you call this that I've seen that's actually funny. So apparently this thing's got a good sense of humor. Demillion says a megacorp like anthropic or opening.

I could not build this literally impossible with how this thing works. Maybe that's speaking to the open source side of it. I don't know. LTZ Reno says, I was trying to resist and now I can't stop talking and adding things to mold pot.

Yeah, it gets addictive. And I mean, I'm just grabbing quotes because there's so many of them. There's probably honestly 300 on this page. That's a lot.

Well, I mean, if you go to Docs. Do CS not to docs.molt.bot slash, I guess, automation might be the problem. It's just the docs. Just go to the docs.

I'm trying to read the world thing. Like, where am I at here? I just landed here. But like this left sidebar, first of all, it is a well done documentation site.

Thanks to Mintlify. That's how you say it. Mintlify. I love Mintlify.

Servicing up in source. I believe you can self host Mintlify. What is Mintlify like a Doc site? Mintlify is a SaaS soon to be dead.

If we talk about SaaS as dying, we'll see. I believe you can self host Mintlify, but it is a documentation platform. You can have a service and I'm pretty sure you can self host it. Pretty sure.

I know that our friends have a recent user because that's how I learned about it because our friend Zeno is pretty well versed in cool tech out there and cool, I guess, soon to be dead SaaS as. Yeah. And we'll get to that if we get to that. But I'm not trying to be negative here.

That's the sentiment in the room. My gosh. Here's the left sidebar of this Mintlify at docs.molt.bot. It's just a plethora, a plethora of things you could do.

Everything from like where you can install, where you can deploy that. Of course, the Mac, I mean, like you mentioned, Jared, Docker, Nix, Deeplin, Railway, Render, North flank, tons of CLI commands in here. So onboarding, configuring, doctoring, dashboarding, and installing. Why would you do that?

Skills, of course. And then one of my favorites, Crawn. I could just love a good Crawn job, right? All my Crawn jobs get five stars.

That's right. You can also have heartbeats, not just Crawns, but heartbeats. There's a difference. Very well done documentation.

A lot. I mean, this is an exemplary example. Is that what that means, exemplary? I might be redundant, but it's okay.

Sorry about that. It makes sense to me. Okay. Follow me here.

Exemplary example. I'm doubling. Really well done documentation. I'm very envious of this level of documentation, which is no surprise given the fanfare reviews, when you have Docs this good, it's got to be good.

So there you go. No firsthand accounts here. Speculation. Lots of interesting skills you can install.

I don't know. People are doing crazy stuff at this. Go to the website, find out for yourself. You can make it do all kinds of things.

I'm still just happy with the coding bots, like just coding for me. I haven't got into like the automate the rest of my life bots quite yet. Right. I fear anything writing my emails, but I also embrace things helping me write emails faster.

And so I'm tenderly excited. I did have a friend who read change on news already texted me and said, yes, they bought a Mac mini already because of that. And have I instead sent a clod bot yet? Now called mobile.

I was like, no, I just let everybody know about it. I haven't tried it yet, but I am intrigued. So it's on my list. It's on my list.

I'm going to buy a Mac mini too, Jerry, but it's not because of clod bot or malt bot. It's because well, he's well on. Well, you know, honestly, it's, you know, Tim, take note, Tim and I, we just covered this on friends most recently. Homelab 26 edition.

It's fun. Go deep with us. The thing he said was availability. I thought he was going to talk about availability in terms of services.

He was talking about hardware. Yeah, I mean, like, you just look funny, Ram. Right. At a price you actually want to afford good, look, funny GPUs, a price you want to afford.

And thankfully, the Apple Tax hasn't caught up to the bump of the hardware. And I assume there's still Mac mini to go around. And so you've got this, now I really wish the Mac mini wasn't in five because I hear the M5 is so much faster. And maybe that's coming soon, maybe it's coming summertime and a year, who knows.

But I really do think that the Mac mini given the availability of other hardware, Ram, CPUs, motherboard, you name it, it's all hard to come by. And all you're really trying to do anyway is potentially is get some level of GPU or massive RAM amount to use for inference of some sort. And so if clod bot or molt sorry, I'm going to keep calling that. If molt bot, guys, just like seeing Zulip, get me upset.

I just want some inference. I want to know my machine, like I want to have a good MacBook Pro, of course, but you know, I want to overload my main dev machine to do stuff and my creator machine to do stuff. I want a dedicated machine for that. And GPs are hard to come by.

And a Mac mini has pretty much all you need in one little package. And it's, you know, thermal density is good. You know, all the, you know, dynamics are good. Power consumption is good.

It's sips power compared to other solutions. I mean, it makes total sense. And I want to run it for an eight N or in this case, molt, but also just to run some transcripts, man. Yeah, through some transcripts, burn them up.

So it's also cheap to get into. I mean, 599 started price. A lot of people are saying who are buying these are saying, actually, you can most time when you want to Mac, you're like, yeah, skip the starter version. You want to beef that thing up.

A lot of people are saying that actually the baseline Mac mini is good enough for a certain use now, obviously depends on your use. But even for running molt bot, they're saying that's probably just fine. I've had to check the Mac rumors buyer's guide. And it has been 455 days since the last Mac mini that's year and a half ish.

But the average days between releases is 732. So they're calling that neutral mid-product cycle. It is the M4. And the M5 will probably come out, but not maybe next year, maybe something like late this year, perhaps.

There's really no saying, but at 600 bucks to get started, they are available, as far as I can tell. I mean, my friend is about one today. And they're super small. Now I had the previous version, the previous form factor, and they literally look like an Apple TV now in terms of form factor, super tiny and a good computer.

So I understand why people are doing that. Well, they also have the ability to have 10 gigabit ethernet, right? One of the fastest SSDs on the market. You could do a lot with even 32 gigs around.

I wouldn't buy anything less than that personally. Like it's the 1500 model. I only know it's expected out recently, but not because of this conversation or even molt bot. Gosh, it's not that bad.

What a shame, man, to have to rename something like that. I mean, cloud bot was cool. That sounds cool, but I can get you know, it's a trademark and not an infringement. But what do they call it, actually?

Let me pull this up real quick. On Forbes.com, they called it trademark confusion. Yeah, trademark confusion. Which I can see why, because when I first saw it, I thought, is this one in Tropic?

And I saw how it was spelled. I was like, no, it's not in Tropic. But when you just hear cloud, obviously, it's identical sounding. So it doesn't make sense.

So if you want my recommendation, this is what I would buy personally. And if I was going to buy a Mac mini, it would be between two models, fully specced out, because why not? Or what I would consider the base model would be the M4 chip with 10 core CPU, 10 core GPU and 16 core neural network, 32 gigs of RAM, one tier by SSD, and always go 10 gigabit. Because that's just how you do it.

That one there is $14.99. Now I'm not telling you to buy this. But if you do, that's the one I buy. That's the one I would buy personally.

I'm not buying it though. I'm not buying it though. I'm not buying it though. I got the biggest one and then not buy it.

Can you go more expensive than that? Maybe bigger. I have a 3090, an RTX 3090 from a while back that is still of good use. Now, the power draw is dramatically different.

The sound is dramatically different. The architecture and the hardware requirement is dramatically different. That's kind of fun to play with. But it's done.

It's set up. I don't have to play with anymore. It's sitting there as part of the Proxmox setup. So I could just spin up a VM and pass through the GPU and call it done.

So I've got what this could probably do. Although I think the throughput between the speed, I think of the throughput through the machine is better than what I currently have. Plus, I mean, you can put this thing in a red box. You can put it in your cupboard.

Put it under your hell above box. Put in your truck. Back pocket. Back pocket.

Big iPhone. It kind of is. I'm going to fill it in with a worse processor. I want to know is Peter getting the kickback from Ambo.

I think he probably should. I mean, at least affiliate link for that thing. I don't think they really do affiliates, but if they did, he should be linking over to Amazon with that affiliate link. Here might be the next best thing though.

When they release the latest next Mac mini, and they're still around the Mac minis, put him in the keynote. Yeah, they demo. Here I am with Moltbot. Yeah.

That's the next best thing. I mean, honestly, that would be cool. What else been going on? Well, I read this post from Roberto Selbach.

Okay. Your app subscription is now my weekend project. Oh, this plays into the DevOps app. It does.

Your app subscription is my weekend project. Now, this is an old Tropper meme, I guess, in developer world. It's like, the I could build that in a weekend kind of thing, except for is it his point is probably that that's now less false than it used to be. Well, here's some key points.

The author with zero Swift or Mac OS experience built three functional apps, dictation, screen recording, and a marked monitor to replace $14, $15 a month of subscriptions they had. Now, that to me is a really, really interesting new world, Jared. And that, let me say that again, zero Swift Mac OS experience, three apps replaced 15 bucks a month. I believe it.

I'm building a video editor right now. I'm Mac OS native. I am. I'm just like, you know what?

Why not try it? Why not try it? Because I can spec out a video editor to work just the way I want it. And none of the extra stuff, of course, we use Adobe Premiere and all their tools.

And it's got so much in there. It's like, do I need all this? What if I had one that just worked exactly like my brain works? And I just don't need that anymore.

Now, can I get there? I don't know. I'm not sure if it's going to get there so far. It opens up videos.

It plays them. It has all the keyboard shortcuts I want. It does markers, ins and outs, stuff like that. But it doesn't actually do like the the rest, just like an editor for existing video, like it's great clips and stuff.

And I never would have even considered such a thing. Because like, I don't, I don't know Swift. And I did write a Mac app probably 15 years ago, which is really simple, an Objective C. It's called D tours.

And it's entire point was to manage your Etsy host for you without going to the command line. So you could like D tours. It's called D tours. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was cool. It's very cool. And I had a whole bunch of stuff to do that, which was fun.

Good site project, put it out for free, people downloaded people like it. Eventually, it actually didn't use Etsy hosts. It used a different Mac native system that does the same thing via an API that Apple built, which was really cool. And that maybe not have to actually like edit that file and get pseudo privileges and stuff.

And then they deprecated it. And so eventually quite working, like just didn't care enough to make it work a different way. My point is that I had to learn so much. And it was so simple.

Like, literally, you put it's a table with like two columns, right? The address and then like the redirect spot, just like your Etsy hosts, which is based limited stuff. And I went so much Objective C to do that and packaging and X code and all this. I would never consider to build a video editor.

But, you know, your Adobe's creative cloud subscription is my weekend project, I guess. I mean, there's so much there that Adobe does that this won't do. But man, just the, the hoods, I don't know what does it give you? It gives you like the freedom to just try.

Well, that goes back to Tom Preston Warner's initial phrase around GitHub, which was a little bit more crass than that permission to f up, right? Which I think is really interesting that you say that and I respond with that because look what happened with GitHub, you know, with open source even, you know, when you have permission to just try things and permission to just create things and permission to just join communities and permission to fork things even, you know, a lot, a lot of liberty and a lot of agency comes into play, you know, and I would say a lot of courage. I think it's you have to have courage to like bite off more than you can chew when it comes to even a weekend project, you know, like, why would I do that aside from this assistance? Because the depth is so deep and I may not come back the same person.

Okay. Right. I'm like, I might come out a whole new developer and I might like myself. Okay.

Right. I came back like in square brackets, you know, like spaces. No, come on. I didn't even mind the square brackets after that.

I'm like, you know, this is not too bad. And I'm like, what are you talking about, Jared? This stuff is atrocious. You just got used to it, you know, that's right.

Yeah. So I am with Fredrico. What's his name? Roberto Roberto.

Not bad. Roberto. That's okay. I think it's cool that we now have leverage so much so that we're willing to like dip our toe into other pools to see if the water is warm and save ourselves some money, save ourselves some time, save ourselves some pain.

I think actually may have replaced more money than this. Now I'm looking at the details here. I mean, subscriptions that he replaced. Well, I'm looking at the details here.

And I wanted to say this one part because this is the part that I really enjoyed by his posts. He says, in the past, I used to use a loom, which I like loom. And if you go to loom.com, I think you might like them too. And they're cool.

Right. They really changed. They put a little video recorder in your Mac menu and it's like screen sharing for sharing, like capture to share, right? To document to share to use it in sales scenarios where I want to introduce myself to somebody or I want to share an idea and rather than the meeting, I just tell them the five-minute version of what I'm trying to convey.

Skip the meeting, stick it to the person, you know, and then you can respond any email or with your own video. We can go back and forth with one, which we've never done that. But I've used loom before and had and received value from it. Now I did question the cost because I didn't use it enough to make it worth it.

But the value I got when I did use it was great. So one of those things was like high value, but not frequently enough to make me like, oh, yeah, I should pay for this. So he says, I used to use loom, which cost 15 bucks a month. And so after creating Jabber, which is what he created, I got excited and vibe coded real, which was the loom version of a simple demo recorder.

It's, of course, open source on GitHub. You go.com slash R sellback or sell lock. I'm going to say that R-S-E-L-B-A-C-H slash real R-E-E-L. Cool.

And you've been sourced it. I love that. Well, if you do, if you take that exact same process, and you multiply it out over time and space, and you say, now, which is a most developers, and then even some non-developer. So like all these new people are going to be trying to do similar things that Roberto has done, and that other people have done in small ways, and they're going to apply that inside their personal lives.

They're also going to apply that at their work and look at all those subscriptions they have for their business and say, can we run this business a little bit leaner? Do we need all this? Can we build something ourselves? The cost of building your own is coming down.

Could that lead to the death of SaaS, the death of software as a subscription? Well, this might be the nail in the coffin right here. Let me read this to you. One more.

Okay. For beta, I'm from Roberto. All right. Can't skip these words.

These are good words. I quote, all of these $10 per month apps are suddenly a weekend project for me. I am an engineer, but I have never written a single Mac OS application. I have never even read Swift code in my life.

And yet, I can now get an app up and running in a couple of hours. This is crazy. I concur, my friend. I concur.

This is crazy. So what do you want to say about the death of SaaS? Have you experienced this person? Have you replaced any SaaS?

Have you killed a SaaS in your life? Jared? Yes. Not personally.

No. I mean, even if it's just killed to you, it doesn't have to be killed for everybody else. Like, is it dead to you? Right.

I haven't actually done that. I'm trying to think I'm pretty light SaaS user. I'm trying to think about my subscriptions are that are software subscriptions on a personal level. And we have a lot of change on subscriptions.

We can probably talk through those. But honestly, I don't have very many subscriptions that aren't content. Like most of my subscriptions are content. I guess we do use our groceries app, which is an in-app purchase, it's an iPhone app that we use in order to manage a shared grocery list with what we need and recurring and stuff like that.

But it's like six bucks a year or something. It's not money that isn't well spent or like there's no pain for us. And so I think I haven't replaced that one. I haven't even tried.

What else do I subscribe to? I can't even think of anything. What do you subscribe to Adam? What are your SaaS and personal SaaS?

Oh, not much. I mean, I'd say the same. I we're here in Texas and we have a GB in because we have a GB. They have an amazing app, which has amazing lists.

And so all my grocery lists are done in there. What's the good idea about that? They have buy it again. So it's like, bam, from me, right?

Sweet. Okay. Yeah. I think that's actually a really interesting place in technologies.

You have these non-typical tech companies that are not tech companies. I mean, they have a really well done iOS app for HB, a really well done website, even. It's not just like, Hey, we're a grocery store. It's like, Hey, come and shop here.

You know, they will deliver to your door. You can go and pick it up. You know, all that good stuff and order in advance. My wife is a big fan of ordering advance and picking it up.

I like to go in the store because I'm at the touch it feel it. You know, like, I like to choose my meat and choose my fruits and vegetables. Sure. But I'm not against her ways.

I don't like her ways. She's amazing. Not many subscriptions though, honestly. I think, Oh, you know what?

Well, let me back up, my friend. Oh, he's got some really good one. I forgot about this one. Well, friends, I don't know about you, but something bothers me by getting back.

I love the fact that it's there. I love the fact that it's so ubiquitous. I love the fact that agents that do my coding for me believe that my CI CD workflow begins with drafting Tom will file for good of actions. That's great.

It's all great until, yes, until your builds start moving like molasses. Good of actions is slow. It's just the way it is. That's how it works.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry because our friends at namespace, they fix that. Yes, we use namespace dot so to do all of our bills so much faster. namespace is like GitHub actions, but faster and like way faster. It caches everything smartly.

It casts your dependencies, your Docker layers, your build artifacts. So your CI can run super fast. You get short of feedback loops, happy developers because we love our time and get fewer I'm back after this coffee and my build finishes. So that's that's not cool.

The best part is it's drop in. It works right alongside your existing GitHub actions with almost zero config. It's a one line change. So you get to make your builds, you get to like your team, and you can finally stop pretending that build time is focus time.

It's not learn more go to namespace dot s o that's namespace dot s o just like it sounds like it said. Go there, check them out. We use them. We love them.

And you should too namespace dot s o. So I was going to call it Mac tuner. Remember this year? Mac tuner.

Okay, so clean my Mac. Yeah, so I got frustrated. It was not because of the cost. It was because the I guess it was kind of cost ram cost.

Right. So here it is eating up my ram and I'm like, you know, I'm hitting swab and stuff like that. Oh my gosh, do I really need, you know, this thing running all the time. And something I wonder if I can, if I can buy code a better version of this, I mean, it's just scripts.

Yeah, it is a pretty wild scripts. I'm like, really, what I want to do is maintain my Mac. And so I'm going to call it Mac tuner, which was still cool. I've since changed the name because I'm more nerdy than that.

I want it to sound like a system service. So it's called tuner D T U N E R D tuner D and let me tell you one, one of my favorite features is in here is this is that you do tuner D is the Cli tuner D memory dash dash AI. What do you think that does? It's going to tell you how much memory your AI is.

It doesn't even tell me in like a table or a dashboard. It's a one liner call out to clock because I have it installed and clock codes, matter of fact, and haiku. So it's super fast. Like it's almost instant.

That's how fast it is. And instead of waiting for the whole entire thing to like be done and then printed the screen, it streams it. It looks cool. So rather than like me reading this table by how my memory is, now I'm reading words that are crafted just from me in real time based on what I'm doing here.

It's like, Hey, your system's doing great, a little overloaded here and there. Think about a Dropbox is always one of the culprits. Oh, man, that's we got a vibe code, a new Dropbox. Hey, man.

That's that's your next project. I kind of feel bad celebrating this. Okay. I really do.

I kind of feel bad celebrating this. Oh, yeah. Everything. Okay, for the listeners.

He did. He fizz pumped. Okay. You can hear those.

I fizz pumped. Well, gosh, there's there's a business. I guess it else is personal because before business, we had our personal Dropbox. And so yeah, there you go.

I pay annually, I think, but you know, it's a form of monthly. That's a big software as a service for both individuals and teams making tons of money sitting there, not really doing much that I can see outside of the box, you know, it's right. Like it's there now. I will tell you, let me tell you what it's what it's doing here.

To what's the last Dropbox feature that they added where you're like, Oh, that's cool. I've been waiting for that. I can't think of one. So the coolest feature they added probably in the last 10 years was selective sync.

That was a big deal. To unity memory. Oh gosh, this is so beautiful. I love this.

I love vodka. I'm just kidding. I'm not going to say it. I can't say it.

It's just too nice. Can you share it so we can see it? Yeah, I'll screen share this. Oh my goodness.

Did you know the original Dropbox Selective Sync 1.0 came out in 2010? That's crazy. That's 16 years ago. Okay.

You see this, Jared? Yes. Adam, Sokoviak at AS-MBP-M1. That's right.

As soon as your initials and your Mac Pro, and it's an M1. That's right. Okay. All right.

You're naming conventions. Prepare for this. Tuner D. That's it.

Okay. We'll see it. Analyzing. I coup.

Ooh. It's just a panel. It'll just fine. That's a cool thing.

Look at this. Oh, that it's a matter about granola run into. If you keep Chrome, it just yelled about Dropbox. The format is a little weird here in the small screen though.

What's going on here? Yeah. You've got it bigger than that. Yeah.

So maybe some some touches and some feelings on that one there. Now it's not upset about it. Let's run it again and see if we get a new result here. Why is it?

Was it complaining about Dropbox? It just complained about it. I cleared it to this demo. There you go.

There you go. I'll stop talking about Dropbox again. See, it's like, if you want the single biggest quick win, quick granola. I don't even want to run it.

And Dropbox, 1.1 GB. That's RAM. What is granola? What's it doing?

Well, granola is granola. Granola like records. It helps you with your meetings. It takes two minutes for you.

Gotcha. If I go to this call, it's going to be like, man, Jared was really on fire today. Maybe so. Great takes while there is even.

When you're not actually syncing, look at this. 2.4 gigs consumed. Zero downside. Zero downside.

Zero downside. Yeah. But then you can also do what's because you can do Tuner D, memory, release or whatever, like free it. See that?

Now, you get the whole dashboard where you see that down there. Now it's printing out down there too. But you get the full on dashboard. Look at this.

Heavy. Google Chrome always. Look at these guys, these culprits here. WCC, not even using it right now.

You have a dash kill and you can just kill stuff. Well, I don't know that because it's going to knock you out of our session. Don't do it. I haven't done this yet.

It's there. Let's see what the dash help says. Let's see here. We got some cleaning we could do.

Execute. That's the word you chose. Execute. I'm just reading your docs.

It says scroll down slightly. Apps, uninstall, slack, dash, execute. Yeah. Well, the reason why is I didn't want this thing to be, especially with installations, I didn't want it to be accidentally uninstalling slack or something like that.

I want it to be safe to run initially. And rather than running like dash in for a or a drive run dash dash drive run, I want to actually make it so explicit. So some of these installations are like system, you know, issue stuff where you had, you know, you had to do dash, execute. So if you want to install something, you have to be explicit and put the slice of your neck off situation here.

Yeah, it seems like they're more like a guillotine scenario. I think I would advise like, yeah, seriously. I wrote that copy. Mac OS system tuning toolkit get dialed, maintain your Mac a augmented dev is the, is it should be in the version?

And I haven't played with this enough. You have to give it a version. So there's no version. Dude, put on the internet.

Well, it's having a time, man. Twitter D. No, you just say you launch cloud and say, I would like this to be on GitHub soon. Please take care of me.

See, they all commands run in dry mode, dry mode by default. Safe by default. I like them. No accidental installations or executions.

Cool. Cool. Cool. So there you have a little bit of your own, you know, killing of a sass because that was a subscription model.

Now the downside of this is like, Hey, these are, these are our people. This is our industry. These are our people. This is how a lot of us make our living is with this stuff.

I was thinking about like, uptime robot and all these things, you know, uptime checkers. Like you could go to one of those up in half an hour, probably that's going to work. Well, you could, uh, multi bought it. You can hold on.

You got, uh, you got heartbeat checks and which is that? Some of two minds are two hearts of this. We're like, I get excited and I'm thinking like power to the people to build their own stuff and save money and other sites. Like, yeah, but I also have all the other people who've been building these software services and build lives and careers and hired a bunch of people and help them make a career themselves.

And they're now threatened. Obviously you can't stop the system once it's moving, but this is why people are talking about the death of SaaS. And I think mostly this conversation has been going on around recent stock market moves because the SaaS bundle of stocks have all been trending downward over the last six months. We talk about Adobe.

We talk about Atlassian. We talk about Oracle Salesforce, ServiceNow, DocuSign, et cetera, et cetera. Go ahead and find your SaaS ETF and you'll find all the tickers who seem to be trending down and not just with your typical market movements. I mean, that's what people are saying is like, this seems like a sector that is losing value and that can be concerning.

And also a sector that needs to maybe find itself on the other side of the AI wave and and some will find it through and others won't your thoughts. I think there's some that I'm actually on Dr. wealth.com right now. I just googled quickly.

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Full Audiobook) Robert Greene Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”).
