20VC: Codex vs Claude Code vs Cursor: Who Wins, Who Loses | Will All Coding Be Automated - Do We Need PMs | The Real Bottleneck to AGI | The Three Phases of Agents and What You Need to Know with Alex Embiricos, Head of Codex at OpenAI

Welcome to 20 Product with me, Harry Stebbings. Now, 20 Product is the monthly show where we sit down with the best product leaders to reveal their tips, tactics, and strategies to scaling the best products and product teams. Now the real question is who's gonna win? Is it Codex? Is it Claw Code?

Or is it Cursor? Well today, joining us in the hot seat, we have Alexander Umberikos, product lead for Codex at OpenAI. This is an incredible discussion. Time to get the notebook out. I want your feedback.

Let me know what you think, Harry at 20vc.com. But before we dive into the show today, the early story of Atlassian is probably very similar to your own. Atlassian knows firsthand the challenges that startups face every day and that the right tools are essential to go from MVP To IPO. That's why Atlassian for Startups gives eligible companies up to 50 seats free on the premium edition for products like Jira, Confluence, Loom, Jira product discovery, compass, and Bitbucket, so your team can use the best in class tools to plan, track, and collaborate on work, whatever that work may be.
