Regardless of the truth of the matter, the Zig creator is being an unprofessional bell-end, and should let Bun fail on its own.
No, AI psychosis has done so much damage to open source and software engineering as whole already, the professional thing to do is to start to call it out for what it is. And sometimes that means intentionally making people mad, like that project that instructed the AI to put self-disparaging remarks into the author's PR to both mock the author and make it obvious they used AI. He may not be the hero we deserve, but he's the hero we need right now.
Maybe you do get more flies with honey than with vinegar, but vinegar is useful too. Fuck AI (at least in many of the forms it is currently being used and pushed in)
If it's doing "so much damage" - let them crash and burn. That's all the vinegar you need.
It's different when it's people coming and fucking up your project and breaking your rules - then they deserve to be dealt with robustly. But if all they're doing is fucking up their own product then being a wretched little gossip doesn't help anyone.
But they are fucking up other people's projects. Badly enough that some are ending paid bug hunting programs or just eating so much of maintainers time looking through bogus bug reports that development stalls.
Some of the ways in which bun came fucking up zig’s ecosystem can be found in Andrew’s own blog post.
Nope, he's based as fuck. And I don't even like Zig that much.
He's allowed to express his opinion.
And I didn't say he wasn't, so good day to you.
The only good use of "professionalism" as a concept is to get bigots and sex-pests fired.
I'm gonna guess you routinely behave in a way that is off-putting to colleagues then.
Nah the malicious compliance mostly just pisses off my boss, and no ones ever complained about me hitting the pen on the clock.
You don't have to be "professional" to not be insufferable.
So weird of you to admit your shitty behaviour in this conversation, but fair play to you.
My work here is done.
Your Reddit is showing lol
You here to leap to the defence to the pissrag vaping in the office?
Dunno what that shows but let's hear it.
I write powershell based .MSI wrappers for a company that's actively building the apacolypse.
Working slower is arguably taking the moral high-ground.
