alt Hacker NewsNo it isn't. There's basically no upper bound on the number of commits an LLM can generate. If the LLM takes 10,000 commits to do what a human would do in 10, then the comparison is meaningless.
I don't know anything about the code quality of OpenClaw, but telling me the number of commits tells me precisely nothing of use.
OK, now do that for 369,293 stars, 76,193 forks, 138 releases and 2,133 contributors.
I expect there is no number I could bring up here that won't be instantly shot down as telling "precisely nothing". My mistake for bringing up any numbers at all.
OpenClaw is a good example of a completely new project written using coding agents that made a significant impression on the world and would not have been built without them.
I'm surprised this is a hill I have to die on, but there we are.
(I'm not even a user of OpenClaw! I don't think it's secure or safe enough to use in my own life.)
