Notch calls Theo a malicious asshole

I'm thankful this turned out to be wrong and the vast majority of prestigious devs have started embracing AI for code. Does that make things a little more embarrassing for the ones who don't, though. There's a lot of “great programmers” who don't try new things. Many prestigious devs who haven't built shit in 10+ years. We can learn a lot from these people.... You're a malicious asshole. Let's hang next time I'm in LA? I have a feeling we'd get along better than you think

A screenshot of a social-media exchange shows Theo praising prestigious developers who have embraced AI coding tools and mocking those who refuse to try new things. Minecraft creator Notch replies bluntly, calling Theo “a malicious asshole,” after which Theo jokingly suggests meeting in Los Angeles and getting along better. The meme is used as a reaction to an unexpectedly hostile but funny callout between prominent programmers.
