OpenClaw hit 3,000 commits in a single day. 10 to 15 maintainers. All with day jobs.
@vincent_koc (Chief Architect of OpenClaw) explains how the factory actually works.

The great refactor: 2 AM, Vincent and Peter at NVIDIA, 60 to 70 agents running between them. 2,700 commits. Close to a million lines changed. 82% of the core codebase touched. Plugin architecture shipped by morning.
The saving grace: overfitted unit tests AI code loves to generate. As long as they went green, they knew they were close.
Knowing when your agent is bullshitting you is the skill nobody talks about.
"It doesn't sound off because of what it's doing. It sounds off because of how it's explaining itself to me. It's waffling."
2025 was about token maxing. 2026 is about not wasting them.
