I suspect you do not know how to use AI for writing code. No offence intended - it is a journey for everyone. You have to be setup with the right agentic coding tool, agent rules, agent tools (MCP servers), dynamic context acquisition and workflow (working with the agent operate from a plan rather than simple prompting and hoping for the best). But if you're lazy, don't put the effort in to understand what you're wor…

Weird, AI writes terrible code for me that would never pass a code review. I guess people have different standards for good code.

How many agents, tools, MCP & ACP servers, claude hooks, and workflows do I need to set up before English becomes a good programming language?

#313why couldn't Anthropic simply use Claude Code to write Bun over the weekend??
Re: Anthropic acquires Bun
#314This announcement made me check in on the arbitrary code execution bug I reported that the Bun Claude bot created a PR for about 3 weeks ago: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/24578 So far, someone from the bun team has left a bunch of comments like > Poor quality code ...and all the tests still seem to be failing. I looked through the code that the bot had generated and to me (who to be fair is not familiar with t…
So you pushed a PR that breaks a bunch of tests, added a 5 layer nested if branch block that mixes concerns all over the place, then ignored the reviewer for three weeks, and you’re surprised they didn’t approve it?

Why didn't they just use AI to write their own Bun instead of wasting 8-9 figures on this company? Makes no sense.
"Wasting" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. They're effectively bringing on a team that's been focused on building a runtime for years. The models they could throw at the problem can't be tapped on the shoulder, and there's no guarantee they'd do a better job at building something like Bun.
Let me refer you back to the GP, where the CEO of Anthropic says AI will be writing most code in 12 months. I think the parent comment you replied to was being somewhat facetious.

Always the same answer. It's the user not the AI being blown out of proportion. Tell me, where are all those great amazin applications that were coded 95-100% by AI? Where is the great progress the great new algorithms the great new innovations hiding?
Well, there was this: https://martin.janiczek.cz/2025/11/21/fawk-llms-can-write-a-...
Re: Anthropic acquires Bun
#318on the post they try to reassure the following question
"If I bet my work project or company's tech stack on Bun, will it still be around in five or ten years?"
and the thing is that we don't know if Anthropic itself will be around 5 to ten years
Re: Anthropic acquires Bun
#319I’ll be honest, while I have my doubts about the match of interests and cohesion between an AI company and a JS runtime company I have to say this is the single best acquisition announcement blog post I’ve seen in 20 years or so. Very direct, very plain and detailed. They cover all the bases about the why, the how, and what to expect. I really appreciate it. Best of luck to the team and hopefully the new home will su…
I admit, it is a good acquisition announcement. I can’t remember the last acquisition announcement that was kept for more than 1-2 years. Leadership changes, priorities shift…

pnpm does all that on top of node. Also disables postinstall scripts by default, making the recent security incidents we've seen a non-issue.
I’m not sure why but bun still feels snappier.
Aside from speed, what would the major selling points be on migrating from pnpm to bun?
