Without accusing anyone of anything, I do think that this coming from the head of Zig, who gets a lot of negative publicity from the Bun rewrite (unjustifiably, it's a wonderful language) makes it harder for me to take this without wondering if there's some animosity that's really the main complaint.

> Two, I actually don't have any personal criticisms of Jarred

The author says two things that really popped out to me that you could say are "professional" and not "personal" criticisms, but I think they're still rude and contrast this statement.

> Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs

> The grapevine was large and healthy and full of juicy grapes, and all those grapes contained the juice of the same message: Jarred was a stinky manager. Poor communication, unrealistic expectations, low empathy, no experience

Now, both of these may be true. I don't have any evidence though, so I don't know how to take it.

All this to say, I'll take both of these posts without a ton of salt when it comes to the non-technical parts.
