Nice, looks like this is using the Jellyfin protocol. Does anyone know what the motivation to create this was and what is the differentiator here?

One of the more sensible ones.

After reading a quarter of the article I started wondering, is this what non coders feel when vibe coding software?

Can you share the data, the view can be improved a lot, it's not really capturing the essence.

The blog post looks a bit distasteful if I'm honest. I was expecting a technical writeup explaining why it was/wasn't a good fit for zig.

> He gets to live out his productivity fantasy fever dream, he's probably already super wealthy. He has minor tech celebrity status.

Looks like a backhanded personal comment? This didn't need to be in the article.

> It's almost like the marketing department of a trillion dollar company has a lot of money riding on this article.

> The post claims they were fuzzing their Zig code, while during our calls the whole Bun team told us that they were not fuzzing anything. This appears to be an outright fabrication.

Smells like a lot of bias coming in. The fuzzing part was not a fabrication.

> sufficient to catch bugs in 1 million lines of unreviewed slop?

I don't understand how even today software engineers are calling LLM written code slop? It's objectively much better than what most of the engineers write, and it's not stopping to get better. If you still believe this, try out any frontier model on any work that you are currently doing, that should change your mind. There still are like 1% of cases where LLMs are not that good, but even there almost all of the time the issue is in the engineer's steering, not the LLM.

> There's a dichotomy being presented here where you have to either choose a "style guide" or a programming language feature in order to avoid bugs.

He says this, but doesn't give the steps to solve this?

> we all felt at ZSF that Bun was a net liability. > "It Tastes Like It's Not My Problem Anymore" > influx of tasteless AI enthusists into Zig communities

This may be the stance that encouraged Bun to leave.

Anthropic is already profitable, economics is no longer an issue as they have found PMF in enterprise software market. You might need to update your views.

Wondering what runtime is the infra under the hood. Firecracker? Traditional VM? Docker Containers?

This looks nice, when did you launch this? Do you have validation / paying users?

It's just the frontier getting pushed slowly but surely. The headline missed the keyword `yet`.

What do you mean by USB hard drive enclosures? Are you limiting the RAID (8 bay) throughput by a single USB line?! That's like towing a ferrari with a bicycle.

This reminds me of a trivial browser notepad I hacked together a while back. Have been using this and has been indispensable - quickly open and jot down some notes. Has syntax highlighting and saves the notes to the browser db.
