Another round of pink slips incoming? OpenAI’s latest Codex iteration automates complex coding tasks—slashing development timelines and, inevitably, headcounts.

How it works: The AI agent now handles full-stack debugging, API integrations, and even legacy system migrations. Early adopters report 40% fewer midnight deployment emergencies (and 30% fewer engineers on payroll).

The cynical take: Silicon Valley’s favorite growth hack—replace $200k salaries with $20/month API calls. Just don’t mention the technical debt piling up like a Lehman Brothers balance sheet.
