One of the funny moments at Laracon happened when Taylor demonstrated an intentionally broken app.
The app triggered an alert, which prompted OpenCode to generate a pull request to fix the issue automatically. After that, OpenClaw called Taylor on stage by phone and asked whether he wanted to merge or close the PR.
