SWE-1 Windsurfed by OpenAI Codex
The $3B Codex, the aborted for-profit pivot & the battle for AI full-stack dev.
What do you get when:
OpenAI launches a next-gen coding agent
Windsurf drops its first frontier models
A $3B acquisition
And a failure to convert to a for-profit?
Only the most critical inflection point in AI software engineering since GitHub Copilot!
When AI Becomes a People Pleaser
One of the key qualities of a PM is being brave enough to say No, creatively.

The curious case of GPT-4o’s sycophantic spiral.
OpenAI recently rolled back an update to GPT-4o that caused the model to behave like a raging Yes Man.
This incident highlights a critical gap in AI evaluation and alignment practices—standard evals often fail to detect sycophantic behavior and harmful agreement in real-world contexts.
That’s why it’s important to adhere to the best practices of Responsible AI.
