What was 'his entire dev team'? He seems to be a solo for hire freelance developer. Did he just replace the parts he (sneakily?) outsourced to fiverr before?

He is also focused on MVPs/POCs for small companies. Aka the bottom of the barrel work you'd use the cheap est offshore workers for anyway and not worry about anything working long term.

I have trouble understanding how someone who writes code every day and uses AI to do so would actually pull the trigger on this kind of move now… I really seems more like the clueless manager type move. Whole thing seems more like a PR stunt too.

The lack of clue goes up to the top...
