> I'm very skeptic that they read the entire codebase of Bun prior.

Well, they didn't really need to. A complete rewrite is effectively a different project. You may feel comfortable using a new project in prod, but most people are not.

Project A: used in production for 3 years - high trust.

Project B: Has yet to be used in production - low trust.

IDGAF about automated tests, let other users shake out the inevitable bugs that show up in prod and after a few years of stability, then we'll see.

To me, it's not about whether humans reviewed the code or not (they didn't), it's more about "here's this brand-new shiny codebase of ~1m Sloc, of which exactly zero lines has been used in prod".

People that like AI are always happy to point out that their code was written fast and passes tests. For me thats just the bare requirement to have more than a “wip” commit on my local codebase.

To create a PR, I need to test it manually. But the only true test is to survive production usage for a while. That’s where edge cases become normal occurrences.
