It's not even remotely comparable. Uber burnt some $30B over a decade or so.

Kinda. With Bun I use less dependencies from NPM than I used from Nuget with .NET to build minimal apis. For example the pg driver.

Who “decides” the frame rate? Does the gpu keep sending data and the monitor checks to determine when pixels change?

Who knows. They're already reverting some stuff. In macOS 26.4.1 (released today) they've added a setting to rollback the obnoxious tabs in Safari. https://www.macrumors.com/…
