I heard Arc was abandoned and not getting any more work because they were moving to their new AI browser. So, Zen has replaced it for me, and it is based on Firefox which is nice to avoid the chromium

>all delegation involves risk. with a human assistant, the risks include: intentional misuse (she could run off with my credit card), accidents (her computer could get stolen), or social engineering (someone could impersonate me and request information from her).

One of the differences in risk here would be that I think you got some legal protection if your human assistant misuse it, or it gets stolen. But, with the OpenClaw bot, I am unsure if any insurance or bank will side with you if the bot drained your account.

Working on my subscription manager to help me get an overview, and focus on unsubscribing from subscriptions that I do not need to have continuous access to.

I realized that a lot of the subscriptions I have would have been better treated as one time payment for 30 days access. Since, I often can go a few days between using it. So when the subscription expires, and it takes a few days until I use it next and decide to resubscribe, I would have saved a bit of days compared to being constantly subscribed.

It still very early development, and lots of features are missing, so wasn't sure I wanted to share it yet. It got very basic features for tracking subscriptions manually and getting reminders before renewals. Still, is testable at https://unsub.cash

Jetbrains Junie is pretty good and comparable to Cursor in my experience. And since it is already included in my Jetbrains license, I have had no need for Cursor.

If they are created by AI tools which we all have access to that means everyone will now become your competitor, and with all the people you are planning on letting go they can just as easily as you use these AI tools to create solutions for companies. So in a way you will have more competition, and calculation that you will have more revenue might not be that easy.
