How loveholidays is making everyone a builder with Codex

An online travel company is using an AI coding tool called Codex to let non-engineers like product managers and designers write and deploy code themselves, rather than waiting for specialist engineers to do it. This matters because the company increased AI-assisted code changes from 7 percent to 79 percent in a year while keeping its engineering team size flat, and it increased deployments by 73 percent. The approach works by encoding engineering best practices into workflows that Codex guides other employees through, so they can accomplish their goals without needing to understand every underlying system. The company measures success by business outcomes, such as reducing cloud storage costs and increasing the success rate of infrastructure changes from 58 percent to 93 percent.
