Biggest WTF news I've read today. I'm not a web dev so this doesn't affect me, but this is bizarre.

We get a closer first look at what's around the corner for AI coding tools, and make Bun better for it

This incredibly popular tool is now going to merge with an AI company and shift gears to be turned into some forced AI hype machine. Yipee! Exactly what all the devs were hoping for! /s

Getting bought is often the whole point for a founder, since that's one of a few ways for you to get a big payday.

Getting bought only really happens if a majority of the shareholders agree to it, so you can reject it as much as you want.
