Bun's rust rewrite, the TanStack hack, and the $60B Cursor deal | Panel

LogRocket — Thu, 21 May 2026 08:00:00 -0400

This month's panel digs into the SpaceX Cursor acquisition rumor and what a $60 billion valuation means for AI coding tools. They debate Bun's million-line Rust rewrite generated entirely by AI, the tradeoffs of agentic coding at scale, and a sophisticated CI/CD cache poisoning attack targeting TanStack. Plus: practical takes on Claude token optimization, session forensics, local AI models, and why most Claude Code skills work best when tailored, not pulled off the shelf.
