Biggest WTF news I’ve read today. I’m not a web dev so this doesn’t affect me, but this is bizarre.
We get a closer first look at what’s around the corner for AI coding tools, and make Bun better for it
This incredibly popular tool is now going to merge with an AI company and shift gears to be turned into some forced AI hype machine. Yipee! Exactly what all the devs were hoping for! /s
I’m not a business expert, so i want to ask:
Can you “reject” being bought?
Yes but… not really.
If you’re amazingly talented and spend 10 years of your life building something amazing but have no money, when someone offers you millions you’re just gonna take it.
I mean, technically yes.
But mega corpos have so much money to throw at you that at one point, it’s hard to say no and very few people can refuse.
It is generational wealth that is being offered to the shareholders. I know I would fold.
No. Not if they really want to buy you.

It depends on how much of the company you gave away when you took on investment. If you no longer have the controlling share you can be overruled.
Getting bought is often the whole point for a founder, since that’s one of a few ways for you to get a big payday.
Getting bought only really happens if a majority of the shareholders agree to it, so you can reject it as much as you want.
