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.

      That’s true, but they can still charge double by taking longer to fix the problem.

      There’s going to be a lot of “# decrement this wait counter every time the boss demands a performance improvement” code in the near future.

      Open class warfare isn’t a sustainable way to build infrastructure.

      We’re on track to reach a point where nothing produced by the FANG companies ever works right.

      Then we’ll see how long the public tolerates it for the comfort of the familiar.
