OpenAI’s head of platform engineering on the next 12-24 months of AI | Sherwin Wu

Sherwin Wu, head of engineering for OpenAI's API and developer platform, describes how coding agents like Codex have become central to OpenAI's own engineering culture, with 95% of engineers using it daily and Codex reviewing nearly all pull requests. He predicts a boom in small, AI-built startups supporting a few outsized ones, argues managers should keep empowering top performers, and advises builders to design for where models are heading rather than where they are today.
