Peter Yang shares that OpenAI's Codex team uses minimal specs and avoids medium-term roadmaps, focusing on near-term shippable goals or long-term direction to keep velocity high.
"We write very few specs on the Codex team. We're talking 10 bullet points and that's it."
"At @OpenAI, you either plan near or long-term, but you never plan medium-term. It's just too difficult."
Near-term is up to eight weeks from now.
