    No you cannot get a static analysis tool to guarantee 97% of zig code was safe. Well, you can - the tool is called the borrow checker. Do you know what's infinitely cheaper and fas…

    Yikes, the majority of this blog post is saying basically "skill issue" and "Jarred bad engineer", but I think that hurts Zig far more than Andrew realises. If Bun, a disaster of e…

    But how would you verify that the agents have written memory safe code? Rust's borrowchecker is a lot faster and actually verifiably safe compared to asking an LLM to fix the safet…

    It's alarming how people instantly jump to conclusions that Bun is now "AI slop". Bun has been almost entirely worked on by LLM's for ~6 months now, long before the Rust re-write (…
