the top comment on HN about Andrew Kelley's response to the sloppification of Bun is that it is unprofessional and embarrassing for Zig. AI boosters live on a completely fucking different planet from the rest of us.

@dthompson I'm wondering what are you referring too? I thought #zig has a strong anti- #genAI policy: https://ziglang.org/code-of-conduct/

Bun was acquired by Anthropic. Jarred Sumner is surely very rich if he wasn't already. he can take a jab or two! weird nerds don't need to defend his obviously profit-motivated behavior!

@dthompson morbid curiosity got the better of me so I took a peek, and god, the reading comprehension level is truly through the floor. like, the entire thing is clearly about the negative impact this guy and his project has had on the community, in order to say "this mindset is not welcome here." and people are going "gosh, what a hateful, bitter personal attack, I'll never use Zig now" as if this isn't an admission that they think that mindset is fine!
