The OpenAI API unlocked a whole new layer of building for me

Low level work like Windows drivers is a different world, and I respect it. What I have been building is much higher level, but the same principle still applies: if the system of record is wrong, everything above it becomes unreliable. That is why I ended up focusing so much on durable state, write back, recovery, and repeatable runs. The part I find exciting is that once those foundations are in place, the speed of building changes dramatically. Work that used to feel like it needed a team and a long timeline can start becoming something one person can drive much faster with the right AI workflow around them. I am still being careful about what I share publicly, but what I have talked about here is only the top layer of the architecture. One thing I love is that I keep discovering new patterns almost every day. It feels like a whole new profession is forming around this: AI systems architecture.
