Hopefully that EVP feels embarrassed that a big bet was made that not only didn't pay off but left the company in a worse position. Some schadenfreude may be all you can expect, since this is an executive.

You talk about that like it's a problem...

You're not alone.

"We don't want you here" sounds like a perfectly good reason to me.

Every developer has had this fight with management and most lose.

This is the funniest thing I've read all week.

"much more demand than supply"? Demand from who?

The demand from middle managers trying to replace their dev teams with Claude Code, mainly.

Someone in management read and misunderstood "The Velocity of Money" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money)?

Or understood way too well. I promise it isn't Altman that will be left destroyed or jobless if this crashes.

You're absolutely joking if you don't think when this goes to crap Microsoft won't hoover up more share of OpenAI.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're banking long-term on its failure and got in early so they had equity preference.

>I see people at work who are drooling about being able to have code made for them .. but I'm not in that group.

+100 for this.

Rumors are worth exactly what you pay for them.
