what is the big deal with obsidian ? I see a lot of people use it but I'm more than happy with giving an LLM a local sqlite table , embedding api and asking the agent to maintain its own memory

Yes claude + scripts without any big corp restrictions / bloat , if i want to connect to a website or api i can just do it. If you expose it to me as a human it is fair game for my assistant to read data the same way i do. Its like the old days of internet . I build harnesses for a living these days , i see why enterprises are slow to even to see what is possible

been writing code for 15 years now , agree with the author about this one , open-claw like agents are going to be the future. Already automated away a bunch of routine stuff like checkin FB marketplace if l’m looking to but something , daily stock position brief , calendar management , grocery planning and buying , workout and calorie tracking . Stopped using a bunch of app directly overnight . The “mid-wits” are the one with their head still stuck under that sand
