AI Can Write the Code. Can It Run the System? | Grepr CEO Jad Naous

AI now writes production code 10-20x faster, but AI autonomously operating/debugging live distributed systems remains unsolved.

• 10x-20x speedups: Jad Naous says AI cut a distributed data-lake 'auto-promotion' project from a projected six months to 10 days for one engineer.
• Opus 4.5 and Claude Code: His current stack is Windows/WSL plus Claude Code running Opus 4.5, using command-line sub-agents limited to 3-4 sessions for context control.
