> Jarred Sumner, co-founder of Bun and Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic, used Claude Code to migrate Bun from Zig to Rust. A million lines of code were produced in less than two weeks, with 100% of Bun's existing test suite passing in CI before merge. Nineteen regressions surfaced after merge and have all been fixed.

I couldn't come up with a clearer example of how this kind of stuff fails to apply to my work. If I shipped nineteen regressions in 2 weeks, my company would be desperately apologizing to our customers, not writing a blog post about what a great job I did.

So, the whole brouhaha was so that Anthropic can write this blog post?
