Therefore effective immediately, NodeBB will go all-in on AI development. We have implemented an OpenClaw bot and given it administrative access of the GitHub repository, and told it to do what it thinks best for the software it is now charged with maintaining.

Pretty quickly it decided that both @baris and I were not appropriate custodians of NodeBB, since it took us far too long to build what it considers a sub-par product. It seems to have removed our commit privileges, but I think that’s probably for the best.

It then sent a message to our corporate slack saying that it can’t trust our contributions any longer. What a relief! I guess I don’t have to implement Object Integrity Proofs after all.

It also seems to be rewriting our codebase away from js… but instead of moving to TypeScript, which people have been haranguing us to do over the years, it seems to be rewriting NodeBB into Rust.

Something something type safety.

Well, I guess that about wraps it up. Time to ride off into the sunset, with full confidence that NodeBB progress will continue unimpeded.
