Dev builds operating system with Codex

Morgan Linton is using OpenAI's Codex to autonomously build a new operating system from scratch. After encountering a massive 1TB log file crash in early May, the project is back on track with a renewed focus on getting the OS functional.

// ANALYSIS

Building an OS with an AI coding assistant is a wild stress test of current agentic capabilities. The massive log file crash highlights the unpredictable edge cases of autonomous code generation at scale. It demonstrates developers pushing AI beyond simple web apps into complex, low-level system architecture. This serves as a fascinating case study for Codex's ability to maintain context in massive, long-running projects.
