Against my will, I have been forced to learn about the Bun / Zig drama. Here's my understanding:
- Bun == thing that crashes OpenCode & Claude Code
- Rust == artisanal programming language for furries
- Zig == even more artisanal programming language for devs who think Rust is too mainstream
- Anthropic acquires Bun because machine god says so
- Bun uses machine god to rewrite from Zig to Rust
- Zig creator accuses Bun of selling out, going mainstream, or something
- Bun still crashes Claude Code and Open Code
IN A 1997 KEYNOTE A DEVELOPER TOLD A ROOM FULL OF PROGRAMMERS THAT THE COMPUTER REVOLUTION HAD NOT ACTUALLY HAPPENED YET. THEN HE PLAYED A CLIP OF WINDOWS, ICONS AND LIVE EDITING RUNNING ON A MACHINE FROM 1973 AND THE ROOM WENT QUIET.
62 minutes from Alan Kay -- the man who invented the word "object-oriented" and helped build the first modern personal computer at Xerox PARC.
-> The idea that lands: almost everything you call "computing" is just paper, digitized. Documents, mail, folders. We took the most powerful medium ever made and used it to imitate the office.
The real machine -- the one that thinks with you, that you shape live instead of typing at -- was sketched in the 60s and 70s, then quietly abandoned.
He calls modern software an Egyptian pyramid: millions of bricks stacked by brute force, no structure underneath.
And now AI is quietly hauling us back toward what he wanted -- you describe intent, the machine builds the how. Not a revolution from nowhere. A return to a dream we walked away from.
You thought this was the future. This is the talk that shows you it is a detour we have been on for 40 years.
Save this. It reframes the whole industry ↓
@mykolaharmash Apple devices share clipboard and depending on conditions could take up to a few moments to transfer information. Was it called handoff? Whatever it is, on Mac if it has issues it shows a spinning ball... and if it fails it seems to revert to what was previously in the clipboard
the simulation will pause today for 6 months due to 'renovation' but you will not notice this lapse in time
you will however notice one of the most profound changes we have seen this decade
@davepl1968 ...and then he realised, he was himself one of the greatest devs of all time and didn't need to wish; bending reality to his will through sheer influence and status he made it so.
When I learned the group e^iθ under complex multiplication is isomorphic to the group of SO(2) matrices under matrix multiplication , it changed everything. I knew love for the first time, my wife came back, I quit fentanyl and started reading romantic fiction. U(1) - SO(2) isomorphism fixed my credit score and my relationship with my father.
Oliver Tree has tragically passed away... massive loss to humanity.
This dude was the goat.
To all who are trying to "LooksMax" or think you are ugly because of this new fad.... listen to his wise words.
We are all beautiful 🕊
R.I.P Oliver Tree 🙏
@victormustar I love that my brain had to / has reclaimed the "open ai" concept for its actual intended use with this post - glitched for a moment at that point and had to read again haha
