Your AI project WILL break. Welcome to the Day 2 problem.
Ofir Prusk writes on August 3, 2026 that most AI tools do not teach how the infrastructure works, so right after launch the question becomes "it broke, how do we fix it." He calls this the Day 2 problem, a familiar software engineering problem now returning for builders of automations and agents. The post is aimed mainly at those coming from a non-technical background who start building with models without understanding what they are building. The recommendation is to ask operations and maintenance questions before starting, not only after the demo works.
