Update: I'm being sued for plagurism and the AI has stopped coding and is now just listing recipes for various desserts.

Says more about his hiring skills than about "AI". He needs to make up better bait
If you take him at face value, he's a:
-
developer -- no way a PM can deal with AI code directly
-
senior/mid level -- since he was a team lead at some point
-
reviews and revises AI code all day
Leave him alone, the man is already in a hell of his own creation
Is this the same guy who was hiring for web devs just a few weeks ago?
Yes. He also made a fake account to lick his virtual boots: https://sh.itjust.works/post/30288639/15814209
This guy sounds like a Muskrat-stan.
I've replaced my workforce with AI. I've replaced my clients with AI. I've replaced my office with AI. I've replaced myself with AI. Even this post is procedurally generated.
I am no more. I am gone. Only AI now. AI is coming. Bleep bloop Mr. Anderson.
^ actual true goal of hyper capitalism
Reminds me of Stanislaw Lem's book Peace On Earth, where all the super powers fight a proxy war on the moon with robots to have "peace on earth". Maybe we can have a proxy AI economy on the moon and have peace from capitalism. Although, it didn't really turn out to be a good idea in the book.
That sounds like an interesting read! Is it part of a series or could it be read independently? I tried to find out online but I got seemingly conflicting results.
I think the hero is a recurring character in unrelated books. His stuff is pretty wild.
That was the guy that later asked (on X?) for people to send in CVs and recent works, right? Must have been going really well for him 😄
Edit:
Yep, that is him:
The tweet read, “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.”
But, would you believe it, Winder later took to LinkedIn to announce that he needed web developers to join his company. This disparity invited a lot of derision, the Reddit post even having nearly 10K upvotes and comments. Another raged: So he is saying his company is an unneeded greed mongrel milking a simple interaction between his clients and OpenAI! Another said, “I just say AI to do it all.” But can’t someone else just tell AI to do everything? You don’t understand. I meet with the clients! I’m a people person, dammit!”
And then all the users clapped.
His X bio is also amazing:
I turn your app ideas into SaaS MVPs fast using AI & 12+ years of dev experience, helping you make passive income. DM me to get started and launch your MVP!
He‘s fishing for that zero passion passive income bubble that thinks it can become rich by doing nothing except giving random gurus money.
Even if he was right an AI could do the whole thing why would somebody pay him to just give the AI a prompt. Why wouldn't they just do it themselves?
It’s crazy how easily people fall for this shit
Hmm, maybe he isn’t so bad if he’s just grifting grifters lol
Plot twist: He’s a bot account.
The best part is that there's no chance that code is "cleaner". Just another tech bro who thinks he's figured out the matrix.
Yeach clean code is very subjective thing.
It learned to code from stack overflow, it's not going to be clean.
The Butlerian Jihad will be a mercy when it comes.
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind
I played an RPG video game the other day with tricky AI companions and foes. This guy sounds like an NPC to be honest.
LOL sure buddy, sure...
