The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch · 20VC: Codex vs Claude Code vs Cursor: Who Wins, Who Loses | Will All Coding Be Automated - Do We Need PMs | The Real Bottleneck to AGI | The Three Phases of Agents and What You Need to Know with Alex Embiricos, Head of Codex at OpenAI · 21 Feb 2026 podcast

And in my mind, you still needed to be at your laptop with your hands on the keyboard-ish.

And it might go off and do a little bit of work, but you kind of still need to be there and drive.

It's just like handling these small things for you.

And then at the time of GPT-5.2 Codex in December,

we kind of switched to actually, I'm just going to fully delegate this task.

It's like, I'm going to do a plan with it, make sure we like the spec that it's going to do, and then I'm just going to go let it cook.

And this is quite a different way of working.

So it's changing literally as we speak.

And so part of why we built this Codex app that we released last week is because we wanted to build a form factor or user experience where it felt very ergonomic to be delegating instead of pairing.

with an agent.

And so like delegating to multiple agents at once.

And so even at OpenAI, this is changing massively.

I don't have a percentage stat for you, but I would say like the vast majority of code is written by AI.

And I would say that now probably like most people are not even like opening IDEs.

Maybe if they are opening IDEs to like, maybe you want to own the interface, right?

So you'll like help flesh out like the interface between like two modules and then like AI fills it out.

Or maybe you want to like collaborate on a plan, but then have AI fill it out.

The code itself is not being written by humans anymore.

It depends how you define IDE.

So the formal definition, right?
