i think they are extremely personal and actually very distinct from professional criticisms.

Can you criticize a project which is mainly contributed and managed by one person without criticizing the same person who does the decisions that cause criticisms?

  • Yes, I think very easily and I have read examples of this. There are bits of this in the article, but the main thrust attempt to portray Jarred as a greedy asshole enamored with Thiel/VC thought is not about the project and quite clear reading the article. It’s entirely tactless and bitter imo

      What made you get that takeaway from the article? I didn't get that feeling at all, mainly seems to be something like "Jarred does some good and some bad, personally I don't agree, still wish him well", but clearly some specific part in the article must have given you this impression, if so what part?

  • What about:

    > The Zig foundation had a continuing disagreement about how Bun was using Zig (their methods and the resulting code). Other projects that follow the advices of the Zig foundation more closely won't have the same problems Bun had.

    Posting this could've been enough to save face.

    I find the blogpost super petty, 8-10 untrue, unprovable, unrelated jabs against a person and colleague.
