This was good, but the one thing I most wanted to know about what it's like building new products inside of OpenAI is how and how much LLMs are involved in their building process.


Yes, same, that's a fascinating question that people are pretty tight-lipped about.

Note he was specifically on the team that was launching OpenAI's version of a coding agent, so I imagine the numbers before that product existed could be very different to the numbers after.


That's a good question!


Same! I was really hoping it was discussed. I’m assuming “lots, but it depends on what you’re working on”?


He describes 78,000 public pull requests per engineer over 53 days. LMAO. So it's likely 99.99% LLM written.

Lots of good info in the post, surprised he was able to share so much publicly. I would have kept most of the business process info secret.

Edit: NVM. That 78k pull requests is for all users of Codex, not all engineers of Codex.
