OpenClaw may be flawed, but it does show how limited the available and entrenched digital assistants are compared to what agents can do.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

GSD is a Claude extension that autonomously manages software development projects through structured phases, plans, and checkpoints. The author demonstrates building a JSON viewer app in SwiftUI, where GSD handles planning, code generation, and iterative development while requiring human approval at key milestones. The workflow successfully navigates token limits and context window constraints, producing a functional prototype that allows developers to learn new technologies through working code. While the process uses extensive agile terminology and can be slower than expected, it proves effective for steering development projects with minimal human intervention.
