Finding this comment interesting, parent comment didn't suggest any past association but it seemingly uses project reference as pivot point to do various outgroup counter signaling / neg bun?

I understand the concern, but really? I found this quote enough to offer proper comments:

> had a vague idea that "Zig people" were generally "Software You Can Love" or "Handmade Software Movement" types

Folks at Bun are "Zig people" for obvious reasons, and a link was made with Handmade software. This happened multiple times before with Bun specifically, so my response is not a "pivot" of any kind. I've highlighted and constrasted our differences to prevent further associations inside a viral HN thread. That's not unreasonable.

I also explicitly congratulated them for the acquisition.

Indeed, you cleared up exactly the misconception I had. Thanks for chiming in to clarify

I'm willing to wager that 99.99% of readers do not associate "Handmade" with the org you're associated with, and that most didn't know it existed until this comment. So yes "really", without OP replying, it's understandable that the poster you're replying inferred it had nothing to do with you.

Yeah, I don't think of Handmade Cities when I hear the word "handmade". I think of Handmade Network and Casey Muratori, who actually coined the term and started the movement. I didn't even know about Handmade Cities before this comment, either. This is just shameless marketing/insertion on their part.

Nobody associates the word handmade with whatever you're talking about here. You hijacked a super common word and are now pretending it's related.

As another comment pointed out, GP founded Handmade Network: https://handmade.network/m/abnercoimbre

Still doesn't change the reality that few people know of this org exists, and fewer people still will associate it with the word "Handmade" in this context.
