This is the first I'm hearing of this pi-agent thing and HOW DO PEOPLE TECH DECIDE TO NAME THINGS?
Seriously. Is creator not aware that "pi" absolutely invokes the name of another very important thing? sigh.

The creator is very aware. Its original name was "shitty coding agent".

then do SCA and backronym it into something acceptable! That's even better lore :)
There's a fair chunk of irony here in that Mario is being both anti-memetic with his naming choices and contrarian in his design decisions, and yet he still finds himself dunked in the muck of popularity as the backbone of OpenClaw.
You mean Software Component Architecture? Do you want to bring down the wrath of IBM!

Developers are the worst at naming things. This is a well known fact.
From the article: "So what's an old guy yelling at Claudes going to do? He's going to write his own coding agent harness and give it a name that's entirely un-Google-able, so there will never be any users. Which means there will also never be any issues on the GitHub issue tracker. How hard can it be?"
