“Engineers are becoming sorcerers” | The future of software development with OpenAI's Sherwin Wu
Sherwin Wu, head of engineering for OpenAI’s API platform, discusses the radical transformation of software engineering. He shares how 95% of OpenAI engineers use Codex to manage fleets of AI agents, cutting code review times from 15 to 3 minutes. Wu explores the widening productivity gap, the changing role of managers in an AI-first world, and why "models will eat your scaffolding for breakfast", urging developers to build for where AI is going, not where it is today.
