Why would you limit the geography for an open source project?

Anyone can contribute to Bun, but we only hire IRL (and we help with relocation + visa).

Bun is an extremely context-heavy product and being IRL makes it a lot easier to help each other when we get stuck and explain things. I think if we half-heartedly did remote it would just be worse for everyone than being one extreme of either fully in-person or fully remote.

We chose fully in-person, but it would be so interesting to see the alternate timeline where we chose fully remote.


Open source and WFH are orthogonal.


I believe these are pretty tangential.
