Could OpenClaw be the Linux of AI? 👀 Dave Morin of the OpenClaw Foundation explains why it goes beyond the typical AI chatbot. ▶️

AI coding agents can produce features in minutes, but the result can be one enormous pull request spanning data models, APIs, application logic, and UI. 😬 So how do teams keep AI-generated changes reviewable? Stacked pull requests offer a structured solution. 💡 Instead of delivering the entire feature in one diff, developers and coding agents can break it into small, logically ordered layers. Each pull request addresses one concern, has a clear dependency, and can be routed to the right reviewers. Reviewers get a more manageable workflow, too: ⬇️ Read top-down to understand the feature's end goal. ⬆️ Review bottom-up to validate each foundational layer in order. When feedback changes a lower layer, gh stack commands help rebase and sync the dependent branches. Learn how to turn one giant AI-generated pull request into a focused, reviewable stack. 👇 https://lnkd.in/etHt_8PA

In Session 4 of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, 50 open source projects upgraded their security posture through AI-assisted workflows, maintainer expertise, GitHub security tools, expert guidance, and funding. As AI changes how software is built, reviewed, and secured, maintainers remain at the center of protecting the open source ecosystem. Here's what these projects learned and the impact they made. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eDzvmS7Y
