I'm not an AI skeptic but I'm skeptical of the intent of this article. It makes great claims about agent-first engineering and tries to make a real case based on a real product, with real users, and a real team that's been growing — all without even saying what was built or showing it, just like every other AI hype article.

At the time we wrote the article we hadn’t released the product and weren’t ready to talk about it. It was an internal prototype that looked very much like the current Codex app.

So, did this internal prototype ultimately end up being used to create/influence a real product, e.g. Codex app?

[zbrock]

Yep!

No detail about this in the article or your comment here, but the voluminous lines of code get a big call-out. Very interesting!

And this thread too is filled with users that "I also have done this or that" but bar one user, nobody followed up with any link to anything.
