Asana cleared 5 years of engineering work in 2 weeks with Codex

Asana, using Codex, completed a significant engineering project in just two weeks that was initially projected to take five years and cost approximately $6M. The company successfully removed Enzyme, incurring only about $12K in model and infrastructure costs. This rapid completion has altered Asana's perception of practical long-running software projects, enabling them to consider similar migrations and rewrites that were previously deemed too time-consuming. The team anticipates this will allow engineers to focus more on craft while continuing to review the work.
