🚨 Ex-Segment founder Calvin French @calvinfo  just dropped the most honest insider post on life at $OpenAI

No drama. No leaks. Just:
🧠 AGI ambition at scale
💻 Codex built in X weeks
🔥 Everything runs on Slack (yes, everything)
🧪 “Most research starts with nerd-sniping a researcher”

Highlights that hit hard:
⚡ OpenAI = Los Alamos meets YC meets consumer app virality
📦 Code wins. Shipping trumps planning
🎯 Codex team shipped 630K PRs in XX days. That’s ~78K PRs per engineer 🤯
🧩 “Company runs on Twitter vibes” is… not entirely a joke

He left without beef—just wanted to start building again.

Must-read in this summer if you care about the future of tech.
