On the negative side, the code may not work.

But on the positive side, no dependencies.

I don't have it yet. Probably getting A/B tested or slowly rolled out like everything else on Google.

I don't think that means anything. It's just some random words to add pretense to an arbitrary change.

I mean, just stop to think about it. You have a Youtube account, you post videos. Analytics shows traffic from Google but can't show you the keywords.

At one point, Google merged Youtube with Google+. Just did it outright without asking anybody.

Youtubers link their Youtube accounts with Google AdSense.

You can link your Youtube account with your Google Ads account if you want to advertise.

One of the latest features added to the Search Console was... an AI chatbot.

So Google showed us they can link anything with Youtube when it wants, and they can add new features to GSC if it's AI, but for some reason showing Google search terms for Youtube channels took 20 years.

I wish I knew a word like enshittification but for when something improves but at a rate so slow you don't even feel like celebrating it anymore. I think I'd use such word a lot...

The term you're looking for might be "maintenance mode". This sounds like what we do with software we don't care to develop further, even if it's the big cash cow

That doesn't sound bad enough. It feels closer to "abandonment mode."

"Cool product you have there... but what is it for?"

Serverlessless web apps.

Not even Sqlite?

CORS issues due to trying to a .json via file://.

CORS issues on a tainted canvas if you try to render an image from a file:// src.

>We became increasingly horrified at the programming practices we saw in Bun's codebase. Hacks on top of hacks. Abuse of assertions. Most of all, recklessly speeding past feature after feature with very little time taken for reflection and elimination of bugs and technical debt.

I'd like to know what the poor code quality in Bun looks like. Does anybody have concrete examples?

Do these people you mention read a comment on the internet saying people should exercise more and think that comment is referring to them?

JohnMakin · 2026-07-07T00:24:30

I am one of “these people.” I’m pointing out something to the gp comment that people don’t consider when they make generalizing, moralizing comments like this.

AlienRobot · 2026-07-07T00:41:06

But if the comment wasn't considering you, then they weren't telling you to exercise.

Nobody is telling someone who physically can't run to run. There is no reason to interpret it this way.

JohnMakin · 2026-07-07T01:21:59

You’re putting far too much into the response than is there. The point being responded to was “why optimize something like exercise?” a reason was given. It’s not as uncommon as you seem to be making it out to be.
