I have no beef in this flight -- I don't write Zig or Rust or use Bun (other than using Claude Code which runs on Bun, but that's an implementation detail that I don't care). But the more I look at this, the more I despise An

It's a matter of whether this project will provide bug fixes, will continue to exist next month and whether the company will end up scrambling to replace it. No CTO cares about (very) questionable "improvements". They care ab

Let me just point out: The project is not cool. This is not a new idea, and there is nothing special. Students won't use it as an example of porting code. I am not aware "porting code" is part of standard software engineering

If you can do a Rust rewrite with AI, I can create one as well. What makes yours better than mine? Your decade long expertise in database or Rust language? Your reputation? Your proven track record to manage large, complex projects? Your ti

Because it's a waste of token. I'd love to be proven wrong, but chances are that nobody will use this in production, people will completely forget about the project in 6 months, and the project will be archived not long after that

Yet nobody is going to use it in production. So what's the point?

> I would not put it in production Nobody else would either. If this is meant for personal learning, do it that way and make it clear that others should not even consider using this project. In fact, even for personal learning it'

Because chances are that it's never going to be production ready, never trustworthy enough to be used by anything serious, and the project will eventually be archived and become at best a (extremely inefficient) learning experience for

Linux kernel is not even run on github. Somehow people manage to find its source and contribute to it.

I don't think Bun actually matters much, even for web development. For sure there is a lot of enthusiasm, but all the production systems I know continue to use Node.js and are not moving to Bun any time soon. In the "real world&qu

If you bothered to actually learn just a little bit about the Zig project, you'll know that they are doing ok. They never cared about introducing new features at a fast speed, having lots of contributors, or getting corporate sponsorsh

Perhaps that's the definition of taste (or lack of).

You talk as if github is a daunting service only meant for enterprise customers. When in reality it's easy to sign up and used by almost every kind of project you can think of, including someone's 100 line random bash script with

Exactly why I stopped installing LineageOS on my phone. While part of it was that I was no longer interested in tinkering with ROM and playing cat-and-mouse game with SafetyNet/root detection/whatever, the other part is that I can

Unfortunately some switch 2 games are only available as digital download codes (e.g. Split Fiction) even though Xbox and PS5 physical versions are real discs. For now.

Jensen Huang likely agreed with you and tried to change Dario Amodei's view on that, but that attempt appeared to have failed. So there's that.
