More observations from Shanghai:
1. A full-time, live-in nanny costs only $1,500/month and a personal chef costs $7/hour. There's alot of support for professional working couples here.
2. Didi (Chinese Uber) rides are $3-5 for most trips and you can order delivery for anything for a few bucks. Things are super convenient.
3. Speaking of cars, every Didi I've been in has been a Chinese EV. Feels like China has adopted EVs much faster than the US. Tesla has <5% market share here.
4. The best food is inside the high-end malls, which are everywhere. Service is outstanding at most places and you don't have to tip.
5. Now the tradeoffs - there are ALOT of people. Traffic is everywhere and motorbikes have no qualms about riding on the sidewalks. Have to be on the lookout for my kids.
6. I haven't seen a single blue sky day since I've been here. The air does feel a bit cleaner now thanks to the EVs.
Overall, if you make anywhere close to US tech salary here you can live very well.NoooooMy personal experience on the drawbacks of using Claude Code vs. OpenClaw as a personal assistant from my phone:
Claude Code
- Doesn't have dangerously skip permissions via remote control. Also remote control doesn't feel super reliable
- Doesn't have voice replies so doesn't feel as personal
OpenClaw
- Tends to forget things randomly stillAt this point Claude going down probably reduces overall white collar productivity by 20% https://t.co/ms99CZW11k
