Is it true that Jarred and the Bun team at large engaged in "outright fabrication" in professional business discussions? What do you think of that statement made by Andrew?

It was serious enough that Jarred showed up to post receipts with very little commentary, so as not to distract from the receipts. The charge of professional dishonesty is very strong.

Of course you'll buy that because "receipts" were only half the story and posting little commentary gives him an edge.

There's literally nothing in that post of substance, other than the fact the Zig community is obsessed with trying to "prove him wrong" or some other such nonsense. Jarred's responses have been composed and civil, while the Zig team has been petty and vindictive.

Who knows? I certainly don’t.

I think there were valid technical and professional criticisms in that post. For example, “Oven’s working culture was poor” is an excellent thing to communicate that I otherwise wouldn’t have any sense about.

At the same time, I also think they were essentially wrapped in an insult sandwich: the post starts with personal swipes against Jarred (who, again, I don’t know) and end with an insult to the reader (who is expected to not believe their lying eyes about all the personal attacks they just read).
