## [I am worried about Bun](/posts/i-am-worried-about-bun/)

*May 02, 2026*

Bun is excellent software. Anthropic owns it now, Bun sits under Claude Code, and Claude Code getting worse makes me worried Bun could follow the same enshittification path.

## [The future of AI that I want](/posts/the-future-of-ai-that-i-want/)

*January 29, 2025*

I've used products like Alexa but never put them in my own house. I try to minimize the number of products I have in my house that phone home.

## [DeepSeek R1 and Nvidia](/posts/deepseek-r1-and-nvidia/)

*January 29, 2025*

It's hard to understand why DeepSeek's release is causing Nvidia's stock to drop. Don't get me wrong, Nvidia is overvalued, but I expect DeepSeek to increase demand for Nvidia chips. DeepSeek is open source, so people can feasibly run the model(s) at their house. This means more demand for Nvidia. The companies that will hurt more are the closed-source cloud LLMs.
