>talked about what they didn't like with how Jarred acted and worked

Gossip and hearsay; the "grapevine".

Besides, what does it matter how a language user does business?

Here are the highlights of the supposed "they work in a way I don't like" disagreement:

> I described him as someone who had strong "beginner energy"

> groomed from a young age into uncritically embracing the Silicon Valley mindset

> Jarred was a stinky manager. Poor communication, unrealistic expectations, low empathy, no experience. Just a total shit show

> We became increasingly horrified at the programming practices we saw in Bun's codebase. Hacks on top of hacks

> Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs

> While I resent Jarred for making Bun into an embarassment for Zig

And what is even the point of saying that Andrew dislikes how Jarred acts and works?

Let's say the supervisor wants you to write a new microservice. Do you refuse to do it because the supervisor smokes cigarettes and you're an anti-smoker? I think that if you have objections, you should refuse only on technical grounds, not personal.
