Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.

“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”

Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”

“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.

most engineers don’t really like it because it’s making things harder and way less fun

This is how I felt about managing teams of junior developers and/or offshore teams. Just too much annoying work and the result was invariably shitty. The only times in my 25-year programming career that I enjoyed myself and produced work that I was proud of was when I did everything myself.
