I really hope Mario who wrote the engine that powers OpenClaw[0] gets spoils as well.
OpenClaw is mostly a shell around this (ha!), and I've always been annoyed OpenClaw never credited those repos openly.
The pi agent repos are a joy to read, are 1/100th the size of OpenClaw, and have 95% of the functionality.

- badlogic 8mo agodon't do this, this is ridiculous. both openclaw and pi are passion projects by two friends who are already well off.
- shimman 8mo agoIf we're in a thread discussing someone getting a job off of the project, it seems fair to discuss how other members are being compensated too.
- badlogic 8mo agoi'm not a member of openclaw. i build some oss in parallel, and added 3 or so commits to the openclaw repo. and peter is taking some of the openclaw contributors with him.
- shimman 8mo agoOkay and do you think you're entitled to any payout in proportion of your efforts? I would argue yes you are.
- p-e-w 8mo agoWhat nonsense is this. You seem to be implying that contributing to an open source project creates some kind of entitlement to whatever another contributor attains. That’s not how it works.
- shimman 8mo agoI think it would be a very interesting discussion in how open source projects get compensated. Acting like it's shameful to discuss things, in a thread literally about someone making a massive payday by getting hired from an OS project, is odd. It's not like it would be an impossible ask to include a stipulation to also compensate other developers, but what do I know? In fact I'm curious why this doesn't happen more, but it feels like crab bucket mentality which is the mindset VC culture has exported across the world.
- badlogic 8mo agopeter's claw is a lot more than just a wrapper around my slop. i too had plenty of offers, but so far chose not to follow through with any of them, as i like my life as is. also, peter is a good friend and gives plenty of credit. in fact, less credit would be nice, so i don't have to endure more vibeslopped issues and PRs going forward :)
- rkunnamp 8mo agoYour Pi is a piece of art. Thank you for building it. I spend almost 16 hrs a day with it . And there is not a single day I am not awestruck. Big fan!
- Ozzie_osman 8mo agoBest HN comment ever.
- qingcharles 8mo agoPeak HN for sure. This is what keeps me coming back.
- loopasam 8mo agopi is the most amazing piece of software I have interacted with, thanks for building it
- nkzd 8mo agoCan you explain why for someone who is just familiar with traditional agents like Claude Code?
- chrizel 8mo agoI cannot directly answer your question, because I am looking into this topic myself currently, but I found this HN discussion from two weeks ago, which should give you more insights about pi: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46844822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46844822
- steipete 8mo agoMario has a special place in the Clawtributor list. https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw#community https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw#community
- elAhmo 8mo agoOther than the response from Mario itself, pi is very frequently showcased at meetups organised by Peter/OpenClaw community, so there is definitely crediting involved.
- chillacy 8mo agoPi's great. I really noticed it when trying some of the openclaw clones which try to be smaller in binary size and end up not using pi.
