1. Get hired into a company where you have a solid bet on making multi-century lasting generational wealth (>$50,000,000).
2. Every waking moment do everything in your power to boost the company that might give you the ability to define the direction of technology for the rest of your life.
3. Use the only thing you have (bun) to help push you in this direction and do things to help boost LLM marketing (a technology that already deeply struggles to find customers and has to rely on welfare (lucrative government contracts) to make sales).

Honestly think this generation of tech workers in SF are more evil than those that worked at Google + Facebook in the early 10s.
What does that have to do with rewriting from zig to rust??? This thread is what's pushing LLM marketing, not the rewrite itself.
If the rewrite is just a stunt and it will crash and burn it will do that whether we spend our free (or work) time writing comments. If there is any hype around this particular topic, it's happening here not in the GitHub repo.
The author of Bun is a Thiel Fellow, so he's already been trained in The Way.
People are trying to wash away the recklessness of this rewrite by applying engineering principles the author their self didn't apply. It's like trying to make sense of a certain president's words. There is a lot of missing analysis both before this rewrite, during it, and after that is missing. And given that Zig and Rust can interoperate with each other via C, it makes a wholesale rewrite even more bizarre.
Google and Facebook workers just made a lot of cash and mostly made everyone's life harder by Leetcode and bad interview process, they didn't threaten and actively work to put millions of SE on the street.

> a technology that already deeply struggles to find customers
As far as I know it's the opposite, Anthropic struggles to satisfy demand, they have tons of paying customers and their customer base is growing fast.
Wow as far as you know? That settles it then! Just ignore this:

This is exactly the case here.

I’m honestly confused. What is it that you think makes these workers “more evil” than Google and Facebook workers from the early 2010s?

And definitely not more evil than the workers at current Meta.
