*The Rustification of Bun#

Rewriting 500,000 lines of Zig into another language would be a gargantuan undertaking if done by hand. “A rewrite in another language would take a small team of engineers a full year. It would mean freezing bugfixes, security fixes or feature development for that time,” Sumner wrote.

Instead, Sumner went with Claude. He spun up about 50 dynamic Claude Code workflows, reaching a peak of about 1,300 lines of code per minute and generating over a million lines of Rust code. The job took 11 days and cost about $165,000 at API pricing. Claude Fable did most of the heavy lifting.

    I go out to my car to hit the pen, thank you very much.

    Who the fuck rips a weed pen in the middle of a working office building?

    Like there’s not giving a shit about my company, then there’s not giving a shit about the people around me, or if nothing else, not giving a shit about making rent next month.

    Do you just spend your time making up ridiculous scenarios to get pissed about? Or is it only when you get to make it an appeal to authority?
