Not exactly, the main issue we have with this thing is that it's a process that in the blink of an eye had multiple Zig contributors do duplicate work to implement a PR under implicit conditions that are completely skewed against the individuals.
The Zig project has spent a lot of time and effort in growing a community of contributors that is respectful and collaborative, and we don't appreciate startups trying to turn our community into Mad Max, especially when the same exact amount of money could have been used to move the endeavor forward in a more sustainable way.
It would have been trivial to post an offer to pay for have that PR implemented, interview a few candidates, pick one, offer a contract and have the PR delivered after the contractor maybe even takes a moment to polish it past "passing a test suite", on top of it being a nice starting point for a potential continued collaboration for eventual follow ups.
Instead we got duplicated efforts, stress and ultimately everything would have resulted in a rushed PR that then most probably would have been on us to clean up and maintain going forward.
Our way of leading development is more sustainable and one big reason why we have such a big contributor community.
We're not going to let startups burn our contributor community so that they can squeeze one extra tweet out of their moat-building efforts.
