: OpenAI reported that by June 2026, its heaviest Codex users were generating more than 60 hours of agent work per day, spread across multiple parallel agents.
That is not “asking ChatGPT a question.”
That is people using AI like a working layer inside the development process.
Multiple agents. Longer tasks. Parallel work. More output. More things to review before someone proudly merges chaos into main.
Agentic development is becoming real work. Which means architecture, context, testing, ownership, and review matter even more now.
The tools are getting faster. Great. Someone still needs to know what good looks like. 🤖
