Hmm sounds like the BSD folks were on to something. At what point should we not be basing our work/projects on someone else’s project (where they have sole control) where we have no say in the direction. Building code in a stack by hand also meant that that stack was gonna stick around till it was absolutely necessary after which there’s a major version update with a rewrite. But these code generators remove that inertia and this exercise is going to determine to what degree do they remove that inertia and also at what point do they tap into our worst impulses of feature creep.

Also, github has ruined git as a concept, projects don’t have everyone involved or dependent on it involved in important decisions, like something like a mailing list and what’s done in the Linux kernel vs something like bun where you only talk to the devs of bun and not the dependents of bun. That’s another rant and based on another article. But basically it’s harder to do community code for FOSS as github limits community interaction (due to design limitations from the start and then Microsoft)

Anthropic is getting what they want, and the creator of bun is getting what they want which is working on an interesting project and getting paid.
