The lack of predictable output/outcomes, the number of things that can go wrong (rate limits, this or that service stopping, a "cron" job seemingly disabling itself, permissions that don't stick, on and on it goes), does not make for an enjoyable development experience. People are getting value from it and on some level it's quite remarkable what can be done, but never in my life have users of my software had such little faith that what worked properly yesterday will work properly today. I have had far better results using LLM APIs.

It only seems to be the companies with hosted solutions themselves only making money and not the users. This resembles the people selling OpenClaw courses in how to use OpenClaw that are making money and not the users.
