One of the interesting things with with programming as field is that 2x-10x productivity gains are _common_. New abstractions and tools regularly allow people and teams to build more, quickly. The goalposts of what is expected to be delivered, and the complexity of systems expands to fill the time available to software development teams, but they are delivering more, especially if you step back and look at things on any given 10-20 year timespan. So Codex will provide big productivity boosts, but so do moving to C from assembly, or Ruby on Rails, or react vs jquery-spaghetti. Open-source and commercial APIs extend this further, especially when interacting with things like money or the physical world.
