What a weekend.
Submitting this project may have taken ten years off my life.
I did not even decide to enter until Saturday night around 10 or 11 p.m. From that moment until submission, I pushed as hard as I could to stabilize KlipCut, finish the customer workflow, and get the AI Gateway reliable enough to support the demo.
I had ChatGPT check the plan, recheck it, challenge it, and then check it again. Codex worked directly in the repositories, helped trace failures across the stack, and used some of the tools we had built together to keep moving the project forward.
I slept maybe four hours all weekend.
The final video is not the most polished thing I have ever made—which is pretty funny considering I am building a video-editing platform—but the application worked. A real business entered the system, real footage moved through the workflow, and KlipCut produced a real finished export.
There were several moments when I was convinced I would not make the deadline.
But I submitted it.
Now I am going to sleep, or rather I would if I wasn't working until 1am tonight.
