Yes, Claude Code uses Bun. In fact, Claude Code relies on it as a core dependency and ships as a self-contained Bun executable.

I... somehow did not know that.

Piggybacking onto a second/different "just a suggestion from a user":

The VS Code extension needs love. I'm sure you guys are aware but it feels like it is neglected.

GitHub Issues is a graveyard of 3-10 duplicates of really important issues with no activity getting closed. A few examples:

* Lots of /commands missing in between the CLI harness and the VS Code extension

* No way to monitor subagents/tasks/progress visually

* No status bar/line

I think I've read from a few different sources that the Claude Code $100-$200/mo plans are subsidized so hard that it's basically $2k-$8k/mo in "would-be" equivalent API token usages.

This kind of makes sense in that space while the subsidies (if true) last?

Unrelated, "tokens" feels very like... back-then blockchain to me. All the craze.

The company I work for, the code Opus 4.8 is able to generate, is higher quality than what was left behind by 10+ years of contractors that have come and gone.

Just stop caring about quality.

I'm not so sure this is true anymore. It may have been years ago but... can you honestly say "the Bun project was fully AI written, therefore the quality is poor"?

Any concrete examples/proof?

I know a ton of people absolutely hate this level of "LLM code + LLM PR description + LLM PR review" but my boss would have an orgasm if I was able to use AI half as well in our org... :/

I'd like the see the author achieve the same setup but with Nix

I must have tried to write the same "perfect" IRC client from scratch in C a dozen times growing up...

Did open source phones win? No, iPhone is pretty dominant.

Did open source operating systems win? No, MacOS/Windows are pretty dominant.

Does open source... cloud hosting, social media, ride sharing apps, you name it win? Not in my experience?

I'm sorry this happened to you.

This is a foothold business living entirely at Apple's discretion.

edit: more research

Chert is in the Sendblue/Blooio lineage, which runs genuine Apple software on real Macs logged into real Apple IDs. They're almost certainly not doing "Beeper Plus again."

I wonder how many "behind the curve/not super modern" corporations were using Bun or Deno to begin with.

Part of me thinks it's a mild overreaction. It's not like people audit every line of kernel/driver/BIOS/EFI code before running Linux? As long as the tests pass and the performance doesn't regress and it's secure... why are people so mad that it was vibe coded? Is it because it was an irresponsible thing to do? Maybe?

I don't know, I see both sides.

Well and uber cut the driver pay in half and doubled the price

Devil's advocate:

* inflation caused everything to go up to some degree since then

* if it was "that bad" as you say, they wouldn't be extremely profitable and have so many users

both things can be true? "they cut the driver pay in half and doubled the price" did not lead to the collapse of the business/people to stop using it.

Frontier AI companies are selling at a loss.

How big/deep of a loss?

I feel like I read this every day for years that Uber did this same "idiotic, losing" strategy (how it was pitched/discussed) and then one day we woke up and... without much fuss, boom, they were profitable seemingly overnight.

Might want to add how this compares to other products in the space.

Some that come to mind that are potentially tangentially related/similar:

Have you tried NixOS/flakes? What was your reaction?

I wish they would just rip the bandaid to stop everybody's entitled whining.

"We're sorry, what we were able to give you for $100/mo before now needs to be $200/mo (or more). We miscalculated/we were too generous/gave too much away for too little. It's a new technology, we are seeing a ton of demand, we are trying to run a business, hope you understand. If you don't want it, don't pay for it."

I wish people would pay more attention to:

* Anthropic is in some way trying to run a business (not a charity) and at least (eventually?) make money and not subsidize usage forever

* "What a steal/good deal" the $100-$200/mo plans are compared to if they had to pay for raw API usage

and less on "how dare you reserve the right to tweak the generous usage patterns you open-ended-ly gave us, we are owed something!"

How big of a handicap on performance is the external enclosure for something like an RTX5090?

Running DeepSeek V3 (685B) requires 8×H100 GPUs which is about $14k/month. Most developers only need 15-25 tok/s.

deepseek-v3.2-685b, $40/mo/slot for ~20 tok/s, 465 slots total

465 users × 20 tok/s = 9,300 tok/s needed

The node peaks at ~3,000 tok/s total. So at full capacity they can really only serve:

3,000 ÷ 20 = 150 concurrent users at 20 tok/s

That's only 32% of the cohort being active simultaneously.

Can you help me understand why devenv is needed instead of a shell like this/what is gained?

    { pkgs }:
    
    pkgs.mkShell {

        # build tools
        cmake

        gnumake
        pkg-config
      ];
    
      buildInputs = with pkgs; [

      ];
    
      # capstone headers are in include/capstone/ but blutter expects include/
      shellHook = ''
        export CPATH="${pkgs.capstone}/include/capstone:$CPATH"
        export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="${pkgs.capstone}/include/capstone:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH"
      '';
    }

really good question.

right now I have bought into the Nix koolaid a bit.

I have NixOS Linux machines and then nix-darwin on my Mac.

I use Nix to install Brew and then Brew to manage casks for things like Chrome what I'm sure updates itself. So the "flake.lock" probably isn't super accurate for the apps you described.

The world doesn't need a dozen JS runtimes.

The world doesn't need a dozen JS engines.

The world doesn't need many dozens of Linux distros.

The world doesn't need a handful of BSD distros.

The world doesn't need many dozens of package managers.

The world doesn't need hundreds of JS frameworks.

The world doesn't need dozens of programming languages or chat protocols or CI/CD systems.

The world doesn't need dozens of init systems, service managers, display servers, audio stacks, universal app formats, build tools/bundlers.

Deno may have dragged the JS runtime space forward, fully agree. Maybe it served its purpose and it is time to say goodbye.

What’s next for Deno?

Who cares? Why does the world need so many fringe tools/runtimes? So much fragmentation. Why does every project have to be a long-term success? Put some stuff out if its misery. Don't waste the time of the already few open-source contributors who pour hours into something for no good reason.

any reason why you did

    const { rows } = client.query(
      "select id, name, last_modified from tbl where id = $1",
      [42],
    );

    const { rows } = client.query(
      "select id, name, last_modified from tbl where id = :id",
      { id: 42 },
    );

Is trading even a real thing? Is there really a job title "trader"? Entities really think they can outperform DCA SPY?

Your machine runs a little slower, your bandwidth gets a little thinner, and someone halfway around the world is routing traffic through your home IP.

I wish in 2026 the default on new computers (Windows + Mac) was not only "inbound firewall on by default" but also outbound and users having to manually select what is allowed.

I know it is possible, it's just not the default and more of a "power user" thing at the moment. You have to know about it basically.

I always wondered this, is this true/does the math come out to be really that bad? 6x?

Is the writing on the wall for $100-$200/mo users that, it's basically known-subsidized for now and $400/mo+ is coming sooner than we think?

Are they getting us all hooked and then going to raise it in the future, or will inference prices go down to offset?

Imagine if Siri could genuinely file your taxes

I do not like reading things like this. It makes me feel very disconnected from the AI community. I defensively do not believe there exist people who would let AI do their taxes.

Thank you. Could you give a tl;dr on "the full model needs ____ this much VRAM and if you do _____ the most common quantization method it will run in ____ this much VRAM" rough estimate please?
