- i don’t get it either - bun being the foundation of tons of AI tools is like a best possible outcome, what were they hoping for when they raised the money? Or is this just an admission of “hey, that was silly, we need to land this however we can”? Or do they share major investors and the therefore this is just a consolidation? (Edit: indeed, KP did indeed invest $100M in Anthropic this year. I’m also confused - article states Bun raised 26M but the KP seed round was 7, did they do the A too but unannounced? Notably, the seed was summer 2022 and chatgpt was Nov 30, so the world is different, did the hypothesis change?)
- companies are already wasting majority fractions of their engineering labor spend on coordination costs and fake work, through that lens i have trouble making an argument that any of this matters. Which is why they are able to do it. I’m reminded of an old essay arguing that the reason Google spends so lavishly is because if they only spent what they needed, they would appear so extraordinarily profitable that the government would intervene.
- are you happy with ClojureScript?
- we get paid to add to it, we don’t get paid to take away
- sounds fake, founders these days make up all sorts of edgy stories to PG signal to investors

ask them to walk you through it
ask for design doc if appropriate
what is test plan who is responsible for prod delivery and support
(no difference from any other large pr)
- what do you use now
- what went wrong historically that the writing got so bad these days?
My advice to your daughter: to try to make software into a fun hobby, watch a ton of coding youtube, AI and youtube are tearing down hurdles to learning, make a twitter, talk about your hobby, farm those likes. What were her favorite courses at MIT? it's true that software is increasingly competitive and yet the barriers to becoming competitive are ever lower (FOR those in a supportive environment who can make space to take advantage)
