I fired my entire dev team. Replaced them with O1, Lovable, and Cursor. Now I ship 100X faster with code that’s 10X cleaner. Open AI o3 is coming, and 90% of dev jobs won’t survive.

Honestly, it’s ridiculous to me, how much bullshit you can get peddled, if you’re ready to eat it. Like, absolutely fuck the guy for being proud of firing his workforce, but I cannot blame him for believing the bullshit. At this point, you can readily find scientific studies claiming that AI surpasses humans, and if you look into them, they’re just using a bad test setup. Because well, guess what gets you into the news. It’s certainly not “AI is only reliably applicable for certain niche use-cases and needs guidance from someone with real intelligence”.
Sure you can! I do.
This is the sort of attitude I’d expect from people who constantly fall for bullshit.
Where is the responsibility?
I can. Managers are supposed to have at least a basic understanding of the thing they’re in charge of. If the manager just follows online hype, they’re no better than AI.
You’re describing half of middle managers right now
I just wish I had lower standards and was willing to take advantage of people like this. I’d be rich.
The important thing about lowering your standards is that you need to keep your skepticism otherwise you’re going to end up firing your entire workforce and then replacing them with non-functional AI.
On a meta level, it is pretty funny to think about. “Software that was trained to know something, can recite that knowledge back.”
I’ve heard of these mystical paper tomes with knowledge in them, flip to the right page, and it will show you how to perform rocket surgery. It knows! It must be intelligent! What amazing times we live in!
Remember the dot com bust? Well, so do these people. They’re not stupid.
Missing out on the AI revolution can mean the death of your business and the possible rewards are astronomical. These guys are well aware of the risks. They’re aiming to be the 1% that comes out on top after the storm is past.
Also this: Imagine you’re a CEO and the board confronts you, “How are you integrating AI into our business model?” You better have an answer or you’re fired in favor of a new CEO who will engage with AI.
