#12The follow-up PR removing the zig source files being auto-tagged by bun's own CI as "ai slop" is so funny

#13This will go down in history as the biggest mistake of software engineering of all time.
Bun is the runtime of Claude Code, which is the core product of a trillion dollar company, which now sits on a vibe-coded app, where not a single person in the world has a proper mental model of.

And 6700 commits.

#15I'm actually excited for somebody trying experimenting with automated translation, but I'm afraid this will be lots of backwards compatibility issues. I started looking at the commits, and it's basically solving the ,,tests not pass'' problem by changing the tests themselves. The real work of making it working on programs that are already deployed will be just starting now. The only silver lining I see is that the se…

Not sure if these decisions were made by the LLM, but I've always felt that Claude is more prone to doing "shady stuff" like modifying tests than finding correct solutions to problems.
GPT/Codex is more honest in this regard.

Claude Code itself is purely vibecoded, both CC and Bun leads are saying that humans are not writing code at Anthropic anymore. It is amazing how much money they intend to squander, because it's all funny money to them, investors just give it to them hand over fist for them to burn. Developing wrappers around the model isn't even the hard part and yet they're going to burn themselves to the ground getting high on their own supply.

#17Why didn't they ask Claude to remove all of the `unsafe` at the same time??

#19Turns out "its just an experiment, you all are overreacting" was just a lie to damp criticism. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48019226
Merging a complete rewrite in another language in 9 days seems insane to me. Maybe I'm just too cautious but with something like this I'd split off as a separate binary and get some heavy use customers involved as testers first to see if it causes any unforeseen problems before slowly expanding it out.
I'd want to be pretty damn confident it won't cause any regressions before sunsetting the original codebase in favor of this one.

The experiment might have turned out well, or the author might have spent enough time to bring it to a place they was comfortable.
Frustration moves mountains, I don't think this rewrite was done lightly.
