And then you can go review the code.

And the agent did the whole thing.

And so, you know, I used to be an engineer.

I still write code a little bit in my spare time, but I haven't written a single, you know, line of code for OpenAI.

But with Codex, I was, this was like, you know, a few days before it launched.

I was, you know, I was like 11 at night or something.

I was doing a bunch of work that I had to do before I could go to bed.

And I was like, you know what, I bet I could fix a bug right now.

And so went and found a bug that looked relatively simple and just pasted the context into Codex, said, can you go off and fix this bug?

By the way, it was in a language that I had actually never worked with in my life.

So it would have taken me even more time if I had to do it myself.

And 10 minutes later, I had a pull request.

It looked reasonable.

I submitted it.

An actual legitimate engineer looked at it and said, yeah, this looks right.

And, you know, now there's a few lines of code shipping today that, you know, came from me using Codex.

It speaks to the power of this thing when you can just have this software agent off, like actually solving real world tasks for you.

And in the meantime, I was like writing email and following up on Slack and, you know, doing all the things that I do in my day job.

So it was just purely additive, which I think is really cool.

Yeah, it's pretty meaningful and it's increasing quickly.
