SourceAsana cleared 5 years of engineering work in 2 weeks with Codex
Reducing the time and cost of codebase maintenance allows companies to modernize software faster and enables engineers to focus on higher-level design work.
- Codex ran up to four coding agents in parallel, each in a separate copy of the codebase, from a five-sentence prompt.
- An engineer checked progress twice a day and reviewed every proposed change.
- Total engineering effort was about 1.5 weeks spread across two calendar weeks.
- Model and infrastructure costs totaled about $12,000, versus a roughly $6 million estimate for the previous staffing plan.
