I was willing to gloss over the AI usage because I really like the Bun DX. I used Bun in Shell scripts and small prototypes before and decided to use it for something bigger.
But then in a week or so of use, tons of issues appeared. Use-after-free bugs when a client disconnects (both in Zig and the Rust port, funnily enough) which will kill Bun. Unimplemented feature which just return “0” always. Many backpressure bugs which means something like “return new Response(fs.createReadStream(bigFile))” will greedily read and OOM your box.
All of these have been reported, robobun has made fixes of various quality, but none of this has been addressed. Some of them have been reported for months.
I’d prefer Bun to work on stability rather than fancy features like image processing or threads.
Note that this really isn’t anything except the agreement to send messages separated by 2 new lines. The SSE object in browsers is old and quirky; for example, it only supports GET requests, which means you’ll hit path length limits if you use it for something like LLM completion with large prompts.
Luckily since there’s nothing special about the browser support, you can very easily replace it with custom implementations. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@microsoft/fetch-event-source for example offers mostly the same API, but does offer POST requests and a bunch of other goodies.
I'm currently working as a senior software engineer (SDE3) in Amazon AWS, working on distributed services built on top of AWS, both frontend and backend.
What I would love is something that can give alternative tube sizes.
My bike uses 22x3 tubes, which are unusual and hard to come by. However, there have been reports of 20x4 bike tubes or 18x3 motorcycle tubes also fitting.
A website that recommends more widely available or cheaper “this will also fit” tubes would be amazing.
