Summary
Section titled “Summary”Mitchell Hashimoto says Codex lets him spend less time at his desk while getting more done. He uses agents to research competitive landscapes and explore tool trade-offs, and to build prototypes from loosely specified feature ideas. He describes ending his workday early to dispatch agents and frames the experience as part of a new era of computer interactivity.

Full transcript (original language)
Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 I’m only a third of the time at my desk that I was in my 20s and I feel like I’m getting more done. Codex makes it possible. It’s hard to talk about myself in any sort of way. Um Codex is absolutely changing the way I work. I kind of end my day 30 minutes early and I’m dispatching agents. I have some doing research. I need to know the landscape, the competition and pros and cons of different tools. Some words like, “Okay, these features need to get done. I don’t think they’re specified enough, but I just want to see prototypes.”
00:31 The whole point is I want to hit the ground running. We are moving into a new realm of interactivity with computers and that’s really crazy and cool.
