This is awesome.
slightly aside, but I find it worrying that our industry treats a lot of cannon events in stride and don't organize around that idea or to mitigate the risks around that idea.
things that everybody basically just complained but ended up working out fine,
- Bun rust rewrite.
- Elon Musk firing 80% of twitter by stack ranking employees by code committed
- autocompletion basically just taking over everyone
maybe I'm just taking extremely outlier outcomes. but it is still fascinating to see people complain about how LLMs don't think
- mpalmer 28d agoHow are you deciding that either of these things worked out fine
- solid_fuel 28d agoWell if you ignore all the issues and declare victory, I think you’ll find it’s possible to decide anything is fine.

- suriyaG 27d agoI really am curious about the issues that I'm ignoring twitter was a dumpster fire before and now it is (to me) less of a dumpster fire. so far it seems like the bun rewrite is going quite well. I haven't found any major issues since the merge despite, robobun being the top committer in the repo.
- solid_fuel 26d ago> twitter was a dumpster fire before and now it is (to me) less of a dumpster fire. This gives your response away as completely non-serious. You can go troll elsewhere.
- suriyaG 27d agobun has lesser memory issues, more bug fixes shipped than ever before. same happening across the board with chrome, mozilla etc. twitter has (irrespective of the political turmoil etc.) purely as a technical product added more users, more features etc. to me that seems like it worked out fine.
- mpalmer 27d agoYou're celebrating Bun 1.4 on literally day one. I'd suggest waiting for it to hit prod. irrespective of the political turmoil etc Quite the hand-wave!
- suriyaG 27d agoclaude code uses bun written rust. and it has been in prod for a month or so. I am finding it hard not to celebrate because it was quite literally a +1M -4K line change that is touching people today. > irrespective of the political turmoil. I was mostly concerned with the technical perspective of firing 80% of people by stack ranking. the consensus in HN at the time was that twitter had months left before all production systems burn down, because all the organizational knowledge has left. but seems like firing 80% went just fine for them. which I find fascinating.

- slopinthebag 27d ago> but it is still fascinating to see people complain about how LLMs don't think What does that have to do with anything? They very clearly don't "think", that doesn't mean they can't be useful....
