It might be the time to flag Bun as AI slop

My hot take is Anthropic is going to have a really rough year as they’re going to start to feel the weight of all their vibe coding and products. I have a hard time believing they have something figured out that the rest of software engineers don’t. I’ve been using LLMs to help code since before claude code and heavily since. I have a hard enough time managing the “slop” from 4-5 agents. I can’t imagine this is going to go well having this done in like a week. If you think that it will, I implore you to attempt the same in your large existing codebase and report back the mess. Theirs is littered with TODOs like this https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/30412/changes#diff-6c2b5...

RIP bun, it was good to know you.

They are already hiring for (experienced) Rust and C++ developers to clean up the slop that used Claude to create. But then again, this is all marketing content for Anthropic for large scale production-grade rewrites such as this.

On one hand I kinda feel validated for having jumped ship on Zig 3+ Years ago[1] and moving everything to Rust[2], with the language simply being too unstable and unsafe in my eyes, despite my love for comptime and people arguing that Bun and Tigerbeetle were proof that it wasn't the languages fault. But I also feel bad for the Zig project to loose one of their flagship projects, because while I find the project ultimately anachronistic, I know what it's like to pour your sweat, heart and soul into something, and having it replaced within a week is a sobering experience even from afar. A couple years ago this would have been unthinkable because of how slow legacy codebases and rewrites are. I wonder if Tigerbeetle will also have problems arguing for their solution now that the other project they can point to for customer assurance is gone. And I wonder if they will follow suit eventually simply due to marketing pressure (after having been bitten by the Zig compiler I was surprised that they were putting their super duper high reliability database on top of it at all, but with another big player using it there was at least some peace of mind for their enterprise customers). 1: https://github.com/triblespace/tribles-zig 2: https://github.com/triblespace/triblespace-rs

The PR was closed because it did it too soon.

Does anybody know what model they are using? Is that Mythos? This is impressive. I honestly don't know what to think about programming careers, need to reflect on my role in this area. The only thing that comes to mind the that quote from Cypher (Matrix): "Buckle your seat belt, Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye-bye."

I missed what the reason given for moving from zig to rust was. Considering 9 days ago it was "This whole thread is an overreaction." Is it really just that Anthropic now owns bun and zig is "anti-LLM" for contributions? Was there more justification given elsewhere?
