I understand the concern, but really? I found this quote enough to offer proper comments: > had a vague idea that "Zig people" were generally "Software You Can Love" or "Handmade Software Movement" types Folks at Bun are "Zig people" for obvious reasons, and a link was made with Handmade software. This happened multiple times before with Bun specifically, so my response is not a "pivot" of any kind. I've highlighted and constrasted our differences to prevent further associations inside a viral HN thread. That's not unreasonable. I also explicitly congratulated them for the acquisition.

> and a link was made with Handmade software I'm willing to wager that 99.99% of readers do not associate "Handmade" with the org you're associated with, and that most didn't know it existed until this comment. So yes "really", without OP replying, it's understandable that the poster you're replying inferred it had nothing to do with you.

Nobody associates the word handmade with whatever you're talking about here. You hijacked a super common word and are now pretending it's related.
