ChatGPT Work helps me run my cross-border e-commerce business every day. From Indonesian localization and product images to ROI analysis, inventory planning, and Android coding for internal tools, it saves me hours and lets my small team accomplish much more. 🚀 #ChatGPTWork
As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:
1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales
Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.
A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:
- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2
Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?
We are giving all Codex users a usage reset on the house. Should be showing in your accounts in the next few hours.
We have applied some mitigations, but our investigation hasn't shown users being impacted at large. We are continuing to monitor the situation.
Dearest gentle codexer.
We did a sneaky double reset. Not only do you get a full reset on us. But you are also getting one into the reset bank to use at your own leisure.
Enjoy
