Ruby is a far better language from a design standpoint and Rails is a better framework in both design and maturity. Sadly, Ruby is a domain-specific language for web backends these days. Most new startups pick Python and TS for their versat

How much of your day-to-day is spent contributing code to the Bun codebase and do you expect it to decrease as Anthropic assigns more people to work on Bun?

You said elsewhere that there were many suitors. What is the single most important thing about Anthropic that leads you to believe they will be dominant in the coming years?

Neither of them is aiming to unseat Node.js from existing deployments. Bun has made inroads by being the foundation of Claude Code, Opencode, Midjourney. At my previous workplace, we replaced Yarn Classic with Bun for package management and

C has plenty of high quality linters like ClangTidy that can teach junior and intermediate developers what not to do. Granted, even with linters, C projects typically have more vulnerabilities than Rust projects, but C has fewer concepts a

It's odd that the Air has 4 GB more RAM than the regular 17 even though it's meant to replace the Plus models from previous years (same specs, same difference in price point, etc.)

Yeah nah. If your configuration has a schema (e.g. JSON schema), AI tools can do a magnificent job turning free-form requests in natural language to valid configuration. Even if your configuration does not have a schema, people can refer to

I drove a 2009 Corolla SE for 3 years of my life. Its _only_ redeeming quality was that maintenance and repair bills were minimal. Besides that, it was sluggish on the highway, handled like a shopping cart, unstable at 140 km/h, and ha

Java is more akin to the Corolla. Utterly insipid (by design), lacking in refinements compared to competitors like the Mazda3, and made for people who just see it as a way to get from point A to point B. PHP is the Hyundai Elantra of progra
