This 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.

I don't know, there's been some pretty bad software mistakes, possibly bigger than a PR to convert an app to Rust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25

Can't forget Knight Capital: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Capital_Group

Has he estimated the token cost for this (if he had to pay that is)? I'm curious how much this would cost a paying customer.

Bun is owned by Anthropic. This is just marketing budget.

The acquisition money is coming from marketing budget :D

I hope the Deno lot take the opportunity to capitalise on this

This is their chance for sure but it seems they are scaling down, at least their main product Deno Deploy.

Prev they have presence in 31 regions but now it's down to just 6

I will move the handful of my projects that use Bun to something else. I don't trust governance that permits this kind of reckless change.

Same, just gonna stick with node. On the other hand, the trial by fire will be interesting to see... long term I can only imagine the kinks will surely work themselves out
