> We also want to acknowledge the Next.js team. They've spent years building a framework that raised the bar for what React development could look like. The fact that their API surface is so well-documented and their test suite so comprehensive is a big part of what made this project possible.
Hi next.js devs, we like to acknowledge the effort you put for writing good tests so we were able to rip it off. You know claude already has next's entire source code in it's training data?
This is basically distillation for JavaScript frameworks. We're not creating new ones fast enough. So we'll just start distilling the ones we have.
Clownflare engineers are in the chat now doing damage control and downvote opposition. Soon jgrahamc will appear and whitewash the theft.
"I'm also the director in charge of the entire Cloudflare Workers org, almost 80+ people at this point. I'm not just an IC engineer who has to find time to justify continuing to work on this. I can literally put people on it, and I've already been talking to the team about how to do exactly that." -Steve Faulkner https://github.com/cloudflare/vinext/issues/21#issuecomment-...
It's wild. If I need to steal someone's code, I just need to let an ai crawl it and it'll regurgitate the same thing. I can't wait for it to recreate marvel movies.
I think this framing is wrong. we have to learn to accept that it's not stealing. It's a new world where it's fair use and we don't know how to deal with it.
If we accept this then we can do something about it. Without it no one will heed us.
I understand your point, but at some point someone needs to think about morality.
If you or I copied and reimplemented nextjs in a better way, it doesn't feel as wrong. But when a large company does that and then brag about it, it's in poor taste.
Especially pointing out one developer and 1000 usd of tokens replacing the efforts of hundreds of talented developers. There's people on the other side of the screen.
The money points hurts yes. We were worth 200 per hour, and as of yesterday were compared to bring 2 dollars per hour, and going down.
The thing is feeling bad or complaining about this does nothing. What else then? Acceptance?
what's up rauchg?
