Lenny Bogdonoff contrasts 2016 commits with 2026 AI setup

Lenny Bogdonoff, a San Francisco software engineer who co-founded Milk Video and worked at OpenAI on ChatGPT scaling, posted the reflection. He described feeling impressed in 2016 by tethering to push GitHub commits, including from a plane at takeoff. In 2026 he expressed amazement at installing codex on a remote machine, pointing it at documentation, and watching it configure complete projects. The post stands as his first-person account of changing workflows.
