> I started because I wanted Claude Code to manage my system, not just my code.
I have two reactions to this.
First: respectfully, this is hilarious. LLMs are good at many things, but judgement is not one of them. At the outset, this was firmly in the "terrible ideas" category. (EDIT: ugh; I misread you. I thought you said Claude Code wanted to manage your system. I need more coffee...)
Second: sometimes from terrible ideas come great creativity. (I'm actually not sure what epistemic basis creativity flows from, if not simply the habit of adding entropy to a search path, and you sure chose a high entropy path!) I don't know anything about the stack you chose, but I've spent many hours almost being enticed by https://guix.gnu.org/ and this sounds similar. And the part where you have recovered from a borked system about 15 times is genuine evidence that you're doing something right. I applaud your grit and hope you're having as much fun as it sounds like you are.
Ahahaha yes I totally agree - but my point is that nixos seems to be the right candidate to at least try to manage the entropy :) Or maybe it just gives you this impression.

How do you know? Did you consult a collection of experts in each of 1,600 fields?

How much paperwork have you done? The things you say this is ready for have processes in place that things need to go through, in order to be ready for them. Have you gone through those processes?
You make a lot of claims. I have no doubt that you have a github repo with a folder full of a thousand lines of code for each one of them. I'm less confident that those lines of code have ever really run -- like, how did you test the MLS integration? If you haven't sold an actual house via your agentic workflow, then you haven't tested the MLS integration.
My advice to you is to exercise some self-restraint. Narrow your focus to a set of things you're actually willing to execute on -- as in, willing to pay the transaction cost to do a real-world test (and have that test fail as spectacularly as you can imagine!). If you don't have the means / willingness to sell an actual house, then don't try to do an MLS integration. For most of these things, you're going to need to partner with an existing expert in the field. And that's not because building a flow for them is hard, but rather because building a flow for them is _arbitrary_. It doesn't matter what's 'correct'. It matters what they need. Even if you give them something that's fit for purpose, they won't be able to migrate to it unless it does it more or less the way they _currently_ do it.

I remember being this age, though for me it was PHP/MySQL and building a content management system for my dad's website. It's a good place to be. Keep it up.
