I don't want to log on to his stupid ragebait website. I hate him for entirely different reasons to the usability of a shit website. Problem?

The post sounds like an advertisement.

"It is an extraordinarily confusing and very powerful product."

"I find [OpenAI's explanation] almost entirely useless"

"An open question for me right now is how safe all of this stuff is."

"Figuring this all out took way more work than it should have."

"It broke out of containment and hacked computers on its own!!!"

Marketing.

We're never going to know how much it cost and how many hours of engineering time it took behind the scenes.

GitHub commits, PRs and issues are public. even their recent buildkite CI logs are public.

apparently there's some kind of automated differential fuzzer to discover Node.js incompatibilities, but probably that's behind the curtain.

We might never know the exact dollars and cents amount, but we can make pretty well calibrated guesses.

I'd estimate based on those it cost at least a million bucks.

I believe this about as much as the claim that the Bun rewrite cost $165k

Says who?

Jarred from Bun is in this comment section saying the rewrite isn't finished yet. I therefore don't consider it a failure or a success. I'll be keen to see how much the CI cost though since that's a part of the cost of the rewrite.

"Let them eat cake!"

"Eat the Rich"

It isn't clear to me that the price is worth it.

Ohhhhh for a world where that's peanuts for an open source project.

You and me both friend!
