Hah. It can’t be “I need to spend more time to figure out how to use these tools better.” It is always “I’m just smarter than other people and have a higher standard.”

#332Earlier quoted context omitted.
Stopped following Deno while they were rejecting the need for a package management solution. Used Bun instead.
Isn’t because packages are one of the problems deno tried to fix?
They tried to realign package management with web standards and tools that browsers can share (URLs and importmaps and "cache, don't install"). They didn't offer compatibility with existing package managers (notably and notoriously npm) until late in that game and took multiple swings at URL-based package repositories (deno.land/x/ and JSR), with JSR eventually realizing it needed stronger npm compatibility.
Bun did prioritize npm compatibility earlier.
Today though there seems to be a lot of parity, and I think things like JSR and strong importmaps support start to weigh in Deno's favor.

If that was genuinely happening here - Anthropic were selling inference for less than the power and data center costs needed to serve those tokens - it would indeed be a very bad sign for their health. I don't think they're doing that. Estimates I've seen have their inference margin at ~60% - there's one from Morgan Stanley in this article, for example: https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-anthropic-billions-cl...
They had pretty drastic price cuts on Opus 4.5. It's possible they're now selling inference at a loss to gain market share, or at least that their margins are much lower. Dario claims that all their previous models were profitable (even after accounting for research costs), but it's unclear that there's a path to keeping their previous margins and expanding revenue as fast or faster than their costs (each model has b…
It wouldn't surprise me if they found ways to reduce the cost of serving Opus 4.5. All of the model vendors have been consistently finding new optimizations over the last few years.

Or maybe he's working in a space that is less out of distribution than the work you're doing?
You’re right, I’m not making a nextjs/shadcn/clerk/vercel ai wrapper startup.
I don't remember saying I worked with nextjs, shadcn, clerk (I don't even know what that one is), vercel or even JS/TS so I'm not sure how you can be right but I should know better than to feed the trolls.

Pouring a ton of resources into an open source project that raised $26m in VC doesn't guarantee that the project will stick around. Acquiring it does.
Buying Bun to ensure it sticks around doesn't pass the smell test unless they had very few months of runway left
Bun had four years of runway left.
Re: Anthropic acquires Bun
#336Bun is such a great runtime. If you haven't tried it, try it. It's got bells and whistles. This will make sure Bun is around for many, many , years to come. Thanks Anthropic. Why Bun? Easy to setup and go. bun run Bells and whistles. (SQL, Router, SPA, JSX, Bundling, Binaries, Streams, Sockets, S3) Typescript Supported. (No need to tsc, bun can transpile for you) Binary builds. (single executables for easy deployment…
It'll be around until they realize it makes 0$, and costs them millions per year in salaries/stock. then it will quietly die
Re: Anthropic acquires Bun
#337So Anthropic sees its CLI (in TypeScript) as the first-class product and maybe planning to expand the claude code with more JS based agents / ecosystem? Especially owning the runtime gives a lot of control over developer experience.

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

Re: Anthropic acquires Bun
#339No strategic roadmap is ever going to tell you: "Build a $0-revenue JavaScript runtime and one day an AI company will acquire you"
i really think this is part of the pitch deck for bun's funding. that a bigger company would acquire it for the technology. the only reason an AI company or any company for that matter would acquire it would be to:
1. acquire talent.
2. control the future roadmap of bun.
i think it's really 1.

> This will make sure Bun is around for many, many, years to come. Well, until the bubble bursts and Anthropic fizzles out or gets acquired themselves.
If they keep it MIT licensed, if/when things come crashing down, I think its reasonable to think Bun would continue on in some form, even if development slows pace without paid contributors.
