> Now, even though their parent company does some shitty practices with their other software (claude code), it's a stretch to assume this will also translate into making Bun worse: Being worried makes sense but I remain optimistic about Bun.
Can you point to any examples of a company with shitty practices buying one without shitty practices that didn't end up with the shitty practices diffusing through the newly-acquired company within a couple of years?
I'm not the parent poster which is why I still stick to looking at the people...
If you start seeing the people that created bun leaving Anthropic, then I'd probably start to worry. And I haven't seen any sign of that yet.
I feel like you're overestimating how much power the people who sell their company have to prevent anything that gets pushed from the top
That's why I mentioned them leaving. Because something about the culture didn't work, and they left.
Especially true if they leave before they're fully vested.
