Redditor argues OpenAI's recent stumbles stem from missing product vision and dogfooding weak models
veg-n · reddit · 2026-10-20
A Redditor offers two reasons for OpenAI's recent issues: (1) a lack of product people with overall vision—everything shipped feels like a hackathon project pushed live, including during live demos and the "28 day" stretch; (2) the team presumably has to dogfood its own coding models, and if the latest model is painful to work with, delivery and fixes suffer—unless they get unlimited access to something better internally. Opinionated industry commentary on OpenAI's execution.
