Completely regardless of how the code was written or even if anyone understands it thoroughly, they replaced the entire running codebase in a week. The entire project was one thing and is now something different.

There are countless reasons that this is a very bad thing for consumers of Bun. First and foremost you've instantly lost any and all assurance that it works the way it's supposed to. Every project has load-bearing bugs that may or may not still exist. Can you trust the core behavior is the same?

If the Bun maintainers are willing to completely replace their core product over the span of a week, how is anyone supposed to rely on it? What's preventing another rewrite in a few more weeks?

If you want to position your product as a dependency, it needs to be stable and reliable. Throwing away a million lines of code and replacing the entire product overnight is pretty much the polar opposite of stable and reliable.

It has nothing to do with AI rewriting the code, it's the reckless abandon and wild disregard for consumers that is the problem. It's literally a rug pull.
