First line of the original article (not including the disclosure)

Bun started as a line-for-line port of esbuild's JavaScript & TypeScript transpiler from Go to Zig

Then proceeded to talk about use after free bugs, leaks, and other things that wouldn't exist in GC written programs. Ironically, my friend jared lowballed is an expert in C, runtimes and threading

When I read about the bun rewrite I thought no sh*t, those are the exactly the types of bugs I would expect when doing a line by line rewrite of a program in a GC language to memory managed.

I was unimpressed with the engineering from the blog, and I'm not surprised to read andrew say they claimed no fuzz testing. I know someone who interviewed at bun when it was less than 10 people (around 5 he said). Allegedly jared lowballed the fk out of my friend, claimed they had no money because they're a startup, then proceeded to offer <1% equity

I don't think I can afford hiring someone in north america, I'm not a company, this is a small project that'll take more than a year

I'm looking for someone who understands C/C++ and would be willing to learn C++20. The codebase is small (<100k lines), and you'll be working with me to complete a project. I'll help you learn C++20 and various tools. I don't mind if you know very little, but you'll need to understand every line you write and be able to explain it to me. You'll be expect to problem solve alone.

Email me something to look at. JurassicTyler@proton.me I don't need a resume. I rather look at code you written entirely yourself. Pick a specific file you think is interesting.
