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!”
